Handsome blue eyed, blond haired Nordics are not the only ones you will find in this beautiful city. Immigrants form a quarter of its population. Nordics have been much appreciated as hardy explorers. The city has been enriched with ethnic markets and cafes. The Community is a socially progressive constitutional monarchy, and its people are devoted to its royal family. Beverly Beyette visited and gave us a lot of tips.
