My most uncalibrated moment was experiencing the extreme “microclimates” of the Pyrenees. I was sitting on a balcony in the north of the country when a massive snowstorm rolled in. In what felt like seconds, the world turned into a magical, white-out wonderland. But the real surprise came the next day. We drove just 30 minutes south to Andorra la Vella, and it was as if the storm had never happened. While we were surrounded by snow in the north, the capital’s streets were completely clear. It’s a vivid reminder that in a country this vertical, 15 miles can be the difference between a winter land and a dry mountain spring.
