Walk to La Massana, Andorra

Walked down from my home in Ordino to the next town, La Massana.
Man-made terraces crisscross the hills, so the livestock can get up and down
La Massana center; only 2% of the land is arable, and at a premium, so they build up
Escaped allied airmen recuperated here after crossing the Pyrenees in WWII; a number died from exposure. One American, T/Sgt. Charles Peacock, is still officially MIA, though they have just discovered some remains and are awaiting DNA testing.
"Tiger in your tank?"
We're ready for Teslas

Very nice series. Enjoyed the history lesson. My favorite is #1 -- the fall colors. Mahalo for sharing.

Beautiful! I'm surprised that "ESSO" is still being used in some areas.

Thanks!
Actually, Esso is still used throughout Europe - Exxon is used (per Wikipedia) primarily in the US.
