Llívia is a Spanish town of about 1,500 people completely surrounded by France, high in the Pyrenees, about 1.6 km from the rest of Spain. In 1659 the Treaty of the Pyrenees ended a long war between Spain and France, and Spain handed over the villages of northern Cerdanya. But Llívia had been the capital of the region since Roman times, when it was named after Livia, wife of the emperor Augustus, so it argued it was a town, not a village. The treaty only said villages, so Llívia stayed Spanish, and a second treaty in 1660 made it official. A road across French land links it to Spain; for years it was a neutral road with no customs, until France put up stop signs in the 1980s and locals kept tearing them down: the war of the stop signs. Llívia also has a pharmacy that was already open in 1415, one of the oldest in Europe.
