The 'Maternity' that presides over the courtyard of the Prada Casadet housing complex, like the needle of a clock, like the arrow that marks the north and south, like a weather vane. Another characteristic of Subirà's work is wood and movement. The movement that his constructions give off (and not only metaphorically, but also explicitly, because 'La maternidad' is volatile. It moves. It turns like the needles of time as the wind blows. With harmony. Like one of those giants in Don Quixote, who were not giants but windmills). La maternidad' is one of the many works of Subirà that have ended up becoming public heritage. Street characters. Urban beings. Like so many others... Those pieces of wood -Subirá usually works with material from Gabon, strong and resistant and that gives a luminosity that other woods do not exude- arranged intelligently enough to transcend the real. To impose itself. To awaken feelings. Sensibilities. Emotions. Or, simply, for using it as a compass rose. To know where the wind is blowing from. Subirà-Puig does not give readings of his works. He lets all the spectators do it. He plays, plays and plays, until he finds what he thinks he was looking for. Then he puts an end to his work
The most unique town in Andorra. Although a priori it may seem risky to catalog a town in such a forceful way, in the case of Auvinyà, adjectives such as curious, peculiar, different or unique may fall short. To understand the uniqueness of this town, where only 221 people live, it is necessary to go back to 2005, when the town of Auvinyà began to take shape thanks to a private initiative carried out by the family Fiter.
Located in the largest parish of Andorra known as Canillo, we find the small village of Meritxell known mainly for its huge and beautiful sanctuary. But in this place where barely a hundred people live, it is well worth coming to know its old town as well as other places beyond its sanctuary such as the Church of Santa Maria next to the sanctuary and its oldest streets of stone and slate. Located in the heights at more than 2,000 meters, the municipality of Meitxell has a spectacular viewpoint from where you can enjoy nature. From this viewpoint we can see perfectly the valley of Canillo with the river Valira d'Orient at his feet and the great extensions of forest.
In winter, it is one of the ski slopes to access Vallnord -directly from the village to the resort, through a cable car- and when the snow melts it is the turn of hikers who access the Comapedrosa Natural Park. It is essential to experience the nightlife of the most lively village in the country.
Located at an altitude of 1896 meters, at km. 4 of the CS520 road from the village of Arinsal, is the Roca de la Sabina viewpoint. From here, you can appreciate the destructive passage of an avalanche that fell in 1996 on the village of Arinsal. You can also admire the alpine meadows, which are formed at 2300 meters and occupy most of the Andorran territory, and are inhabited by a variety of insects and livestock in the grazing season. Enjoy the views and take the opportunity to observe high mountain birds, which live here all year round, such as the raven or the red-billed chough, and seasonal birds such as the alpine accentor in winter or the black redstart and the greenfinch in summer.
