From the Mediterranean to the Cantabrian Sea stretches the very long backbone of the Pyrenees. This geographic region has had its own cultural, agricultural, and spiritual identity for centuries. Andorra, despite its small territory, is part of this vast geography and its rich heritage.

Amb la voluntat de No perdre la identitat d’aquest petit país neix el projecte VITAL. La seva primera actuació consisteix a salvar de la seva destrucció els vellons de les ovelles quan aquestes són xollades cada primavera.

With this natural fiber, mountain dwellers have always dressed to protect themselves from the cold and have made it an indispensable material for a good bed.
