According to reporting from the DXCC Desk, they are finalizing the last details to put up a new entity for DXCC - “LLivia”. As we all know, this is a Spanish enclave within French territory. [K1XN & The Golist]. Llivia is a Spanish enclave in the French Pyrenees. It remained Spanish because of its city-rights obtained in the past.
Llivia is demarcated by 45 bordermarkers. In August 2002 we photographed the fi rst half of these bordermarkers. In 2004 and 2005 the survey was completed. Three bordermarkers couldn’t be found: no.24, 26 and 27 but their absence couldn’t be fully established.
With special thanks to Marcel Miquel for his background information. Llivia is situated 1 km from the Spanish border en about 20 km east from Andorra. It’s size is 12 square km and the village of Llivia has 1200 inhabitants. Some links: Hugh Wallis’ report on his bordermarker trip in Llivia: http://freepages.misc.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/Llivia/
