Do you know the menairons?

The menairons are very tiny beings that are born, during the night of the summer solstice, from a menairon grass that is protected by dragons. These beings have been entrusted with a job for many years, which is to protect and care for the white stones of Andorra.

These stones are buried in the floor of the Menairons forest and are one of the most precious treasures of the Valleys, since, thanks to them, the boys and girls of Andorra have a lot of imagination.

The menairons are organized to take care of the white stones that capture the energy of nature: it is necessary to form a good team to keep them active and so that all its elements are in perfect harmony.
