Someone brought this location to my attention, although frustratingly I
cannot now find the relevant mail. However, north of this Spanish village
near the Portuguese border is a small Spanish exclave in Portugal which is
explained thus: "When the Spanish built a dam on the river Salas the
northern tip of the narrow strip was separated from
the rest of Portugal by the waters of the new lake. There is however a
bridge connecting the two sides of the Portuguese territory". Portugal,
by the way, has the oldest unchanged borders in Europe. Spain has also a
more substantial exclave, Llivia, within France east of Andorra. Roger
