A house steeped in history. The house dates back to the end of the 16th century and is home to one of Europe's oldest and most enduring parliaments, the General Council, established in 1419. It features a coat of arms dating from 1580.

The highest mountain of Andorra can be climbed from the country as a day trip. However, you should be careful, as experienced hikers have already made mistakes. 😜 And it's a long way to Spain or France... The easiest climb is rated T3 according to the SAC. I went a little north-east over the summit on the way down and descended there. A little more challenging (T4), but in this case the scree in the upper area made it easier to descend. I saw a few salamanders here.

'The Nobility of Time' 1977 Salvador Dali

Sant Esteve, Saint Stephen, the namesake of this church in Andorra la Vella, is one of the seven first deacons of the early Jerusalem community and, as the New Testament reports, is the first martyr (martyr) of early Christianity. The church remembers his death on Boxing Day, December 26th. When Stephen uttered aloud his vision of the open heaven, "He, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked up into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God" (Acts chapter 7 verse 55), the people were so indignant that that they drove him out of the city and stoned him.

A comparable motif not only exists as a large sculpture, but Dali (1904 to 1989) had already realized the idea in the small oil painting in 1931: "With the picture "La persistencia de la memoria" (The Persistence of Memory), the surrealist painter Salvador Dali painted a painting in 1931 that would become his most famous. This oil painting is also called "The Elapsed Time" or "The Soft Clocks". only 24.1 by 33 centimeters in size. It shows four dissolving pocket watches arranged in the Catalan landscape in front of the rugged rocks of the Cap de Creus. A fly sits on one clock, which is supposed to symbolize how time flies. Another is eaten by ants, symbolic of transience and decay. In the middle of the picture, a clock melts away on an abstracted face of the artist shown in profile..."
