Llívia is a historic, distinguished Pyrenean town famously situated as a Spanish enclave entirely encircled by French territory in the heart of Upper Cerdanya, standing at an altitude of 1,224 metres beneath the Turó del Castell (1,358 m) and the southern slopes of the Carlit massif, connected to Puigcerdà via a unique 2-kilometer neutral road corridor established under the Treaty of the Pyrenees of 1659. Direct heir to the Roman municipium of Iulia Libyca (the ancient capital of Ceretania), the town preserves internationally celebrated monumental landmarks: the historic Esteve Pharmacy (founded in the early 15th century and recognized as one of the oldest pharmacies in Europe, now a municipal museum and Cultural Asset of National Interest housing a priceless collection of blue glazed apothecary albarelli, Renaissance polychrome drug boxes, and Baroque cordial chests), the fortified late-Gothic Church of Nostra Senyora dels Àngels (dating from the 16th century with imposing round defensive watchtowers, carved stone gargoyles, and an ornate Baroque altarpiece), the 15th-century defense fortress of Torre Bernat de So, the ruins of the medieval castle atop Turó del Castell, Plaça Major, Carrer del Raval, Carrer Forcat, Carrer Fontcitrana, Carrer Mercadal, and surrounding pastoral hamlets: Cereja (with its Romanesque church of Sant Tomàs), Gorguja, and Mas d'en Bruguera, alongside upscale Cerdan chalet communities such as Pleta de Llívia. To eliminate unnecessary demolition in Llívia, we pinpoint hidden leaks using cutting-edge acoustic technology: high-gain electroacoustic listening sensors, non-combustible technical leak testing instruments.
Featuring soft alpine water (8-16 ºfH), local installations face severe thermal stress with winter lows reaching -12 ºC, frequently rupturing uninsulated water meters, outdoor conduits and expansion vessels. We provide 24/7 technical emergency coverage with response times under 20 minutes via N-260. Regarding wastewater clearing and jetting, we utilize mobile vans fitted with 200-bar continuous jetting units and motorized mechanical augers for collapsed gullies, while on distribution boards our electricians install Class A 30 mA super-immunised RCDs under REBT compliance and resolve earth-leakage faults.
