Holy Week in Spain
Holy Week in Spain is the annual tribute of the Passion of Jesus Christ celebrated by Catholic religious brotherhoods.
A common feature in Spain is the almost general usage of the nazareno or penitential robe for some of the participants in the processions.
This garment consists of a tunic, a hood with conical tip Capirote (capucha) used to conceal the face of the wearer, and sometimes a cloak. The exact colors and forms of these robes depend on the particular procession.
Some tourists from the US can be confused and connect the outfit with Ku Klux Klan.
According to historian Michael K. Jerryson, the capirote was appropriated by the early 20th-century American Ku Klux Klan members.

Andorra - Proof of Size
Andorra is one of the smallest and oldest countries in Europe, with its origins dating back to 805 AD.
Also, Andorra is a tax haven, meaning it has some of the lowest tax rates in Europe. This makes it a popular destination for shopping, especially for items like alcohol, tobacco, and electronics, which can be found at significantly lower prices than in neighboring countries.
Andorra doesn't have its own international airport, but the nearest one is located in neighboring Spain, in the city of Barcelona. However, the country does have a small heliport used by visitors arriving by helicopter!
The capital city of Andorra - Andorra la Vella holds the title of being the highest capital city in Europe, sitting at an altitude of about 1,023 meters (3,356 feet) above sea level. Its stunning location in the Pyrenees mountains offers breathtaking views and makes it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts.

The palace was built for entrepreneur Ermengildo Castiglioni, who chose architect Giuseppe Sommaruga because of his anticonventional solutions.
During WW2 the furniture was destroyed by the US army that occupied it in 1945-46 and used it as wood for heating. Only decorations, facades, iron work and lamps were saved.
