The Legendary Donut Normale
We had a little paragraph under Eat that said:
- You simply must try the Donut Normale. This is a highly specialized regional dish. At first glance, the Anglophone traveler may assume that due to the linguistic similarity to the English "normal doughnut", that they are the same food. This assumption would be totally incorrect and will definitely mark you as an ethnocentric tourist. The history of this fine food goes back to the era of Charlemagne and his foundation of Andorra as a March (protectorate) or barrier county against the Muslims of Spain. The recipe of the Donut Normale is a closely guarded state secret. Beware of the Andorran bordor patrol as they have been known to conduct full body cavity searches to make sure this cultural treasure is not smuggled into neighboring Spain or France. The best place to experience the Donut Normale is at one of the many (actually there are only 2) truck stops along the main Andorran road (their only road really).
There is only one other mention of the world-famous Donut Normale on the Web [1], and it is equally vague. My suspicion is that this is an amusing crock, and I'd like to see some more information before it returns to the Andorra page. --Evan 21:56, 31 Jan 2006 (EST)
Airports
"there are daily coach services from the airports in Barcelona and Barcelona in Spain and Toulouse in France to Andorra." I suspect the twofold mentioning of Barcelona was a mistake. Which is the other Spanish airport? LLeida? Girona?
Gas prices
10 euros for a LITER of gasoline? I find that hard to believe....
