Canillo, Andorra

In times past, Pyrenean shepherds wandered up and down the Valls d'Andorra tending their flocks. Today, snapshots from that bucoloc past have become identity stones of Andorran nationhood. The formerly feudal fiefdom has transformed itself into a modern urban nation, but the rural past continues to feed the memory, as it does here in Canillo. [2005]
