Hallmark When Tamara Comolli created her Brand, she searched for an icon that reflected her personality. She grew up near beaches and a lake, therefore water fits perfectly with the holiday feeling and the enjoyment of the beach or the water. This is the reason why a drop became the icon of her Brand. It is present in some of her designs and is her jewelry hallmark.

Color Stories! A distinctive feature of my collection are the Color Stories! Gemstones combinations that create very special feelings to those that are lovers of precious stones: Candy, Caribbean, Indian Summer, Rainforest, Cashmere, Mandarin o Cinnamon have become, over the years, very famous players in my gem combinations. My clients choose their favorite designs from this range of possibilities, either pink, yellow or White goldâ&#x20AC;Ś

Acorn shape Acorn shape and the infinite passion for gemstones by Tamara Comolli… Gemstones with scintillating colors, their shapes and their infinite variety have fascinated her since she was little. To the extent that her passion today is almost ruinous because she keeps these unique stones for a long time, using them only for her famous “Collectibles”. The best adjectives of this collection are soft and feminine acorn shaped pieces MIKADO that for some customers, have become a real obsession! Her favorite stones are tourmalines and sapphires.

BRACELET MIKADO FLAMENCO CANDY

Tamara Comolli Born in Germany and raised in Spain, Gibraltar, France and Germany. She studied business at the University of Munich and was later dedicated to management consulting. In 1992 she founded TAMARA Comolli jewelry collection rewarded in 2004 for the design award De Beers. Her iconic boutique in Hamptons USA, was followed by two stores in Germany and in Palm Beach, Florida and most recently in Munich, Germany. The best jewelers in the world distribute her brand!.

Have fun! Tamara Comolli wants jewelry to be synonymous of fun at all times! She doesn’t want it to be intimidating but then not boring! She wants it to be playful and sober at the same time. That’s why sometimes she wears a diamond pendant on a thin chain or leather string of lots of bracelets. With her jewels she wants to give a young playful air and hopes her customers to experience it too! Have fun!

COLLARET GYPSY PEACE

30 years ago, the idea to start a brand was based on creating something unusual and at the same time redefining jewelry putting aside too ostentatious and unifromed jewels and too uniform that could only be justified by the brand or price. The pieces were devoid of feeling and soul. Tamara Comolli wanted to create a new brand that was informal, allowing a simple and versatile style . Her creations are timeless, so do not ever get old, and allow the customer to grow his personal collection with her designs. They can be worn in a new and different way, pieces bought years ago are still being added to her latest creations. Existing over 20 years, the idea has worked very well!

“The very latest news and events in Andorra”

A HIGH PERFORMANCE SPORT CENTRE TO BE OPENED IN “SUD RADIO” BUILDING, WILL BE THE FIRST IN EUROPE

SPECIAL OLYMPICS CAMPAIGN TO PROMOTE THEIR PRESENCE IN DIFFERENT EVENTS

The Thyssen exhibition, which will be located in the basement of the former Hotel Valira in Escaldes-Engordany, could open its doors at the end of next year.

The “Andorra Special Olympics Federation” has launched a charity campaign to raise funds in order to obtain more resources to participate in different international competitions. The premiere of the 2900 ALPINE RUN. The seven highest peaks of Andorra are ready for the 42 participants, all top class runners, to attend the first edition of the 2900 Alpine Run. An event organized by the Mountain Sports Association of Andorra (AEMA) and represented by the Andorran runner Carlos Rossell. The 2900 Alpine Run consists of 70 km and 6700 meters of incline, only suitable for runners like Esmond Tressider, Francesc Solé - well familiar with these mountains after winning the “Ronda dels Cims - Andy Symonds, Ian MacNairn, Nicolas Darmaillacq and Pavel Paloncý. “With the 2900 Alpine Run we want to go back to the origins of mountain races like the Mont Blanc Sky Race or the Monte Rosa Sky race and promote the wildest part of our country, “said Carlos Rossell during the presentation of the event. “The 42 participants come from 10 different countries so it is obvious that we attract international audiences. “The difficulty of the race meant having to limit the number of participants to ensure safety.”The goal is not to be a massive event but to bring experienced and prepared runners”. “Matt Rossell together with Lefort are very familiar with the route and they expect that the best athletes will arrive within a time of 15 hours. “Anything under that time is complicated because the race becomes really hard after Canillo. “For the Andorran runner the real challenge are the three final peaks. “What weather forecast can we expect? “We’re looking at it daily and it is changing all the time. We were even told that it will be snowing, but the race will not be canceled”, Rossell mentioned.

ANDORRA HOSTS THE FINALS OF THE 2019 WORLD CUP ALPINE SKIING

Books ‘THE STYLISH LIFE SKIING’ Gabriela Le Breton From its origins in China and Scandinavia, the sport of skiing has come a long way to attract daring athletes, tourists and locals on winter holiday, the chic and wealthy leisure class, and international royalty. On the technical side, pioneering innovators developed cutting-edge equipment that, over the years, has grown skiing to become a fiercely competitive spectator sport while, on the cultural side, the exciting and well-groomed stars of the ski world and jetsetter destinations have come to define a distinctive and popular global culture and aspirational lifestyle. The Stylish Life: Skiing is a nostalgic and spectacular journey through alpine history and beyond, including this singularly unique sport’s founders, superstars, influence on design and entertainment, and the evolution of its resorts, fashion, equipment, and much more.

THE GREATEST SKI RUNS ON THE PLANET Joan Solé “Mythical descents” offers an extensive and impressive overview of the best ski destinations located throughout the world that will delight skiers and is a practical guide for all snowlovers. Skiing is no longer an elite sport and has become a sport practiced by many over the world. This comprehensive and visually stunning feast of snowbound derring-do showcases the very best and most feared descents in the world.

‘FIFTY PLACES TO SKI AND SNOWBOARD’ Chris Santella Fifty Places to Ski and Snowboard Before You Die takes readers on a tour de force of some of the world’s most inspiring ski/snowboard areas. Based on interviews with leading ski/snowboarding experts, the book explores the rich history, personalities - and most of all, the experience - of visiting mountains from the Alps to the Rockies, of après-ski in Cortina or helicopter rides into virgin Alaskan powder.

The Interview

Cyril

Despres

Cyril Despres (born on the 24th January 1974 in Fontainebleu) is a French motorbike rider, who won the Dakar Rally five times. He has been living in Andorra for several years, where he participates in various activities related to the world of motorcycles. In 2015 Despres decides to leave the motorcycles behind and to participate in the Dakar Rally Race with the official team of Peugeot. What made you come to Andorra? A change of life, I got the opportunity to participate in a few races. A professional rally co-pilot who was living in Andorra invited me a few days and offered me a new project. So I started living here from September 2000. What do you like most about Andorra? In one word, quality of life, but also the atmosphere, the mountains, the difference in the seasons, even though you cannot do the same activities in winter as in summer, such as cycling, skiingâ&#x20AC;Ś.and of course my family and the security that Andorra offers. What are you missing? An Airport! Especially for those travelling a lot. And the French cinema, but that is all. Do you think Andorra is attractive for professional sportsmen? For a pilot it would be easier to live in California because of the climate and the desert, but this means you can practice only one activity. In Andorra, however, you can do many things. We do need a training circuit though, since the nearest one is at 50 km. To have a circuit would be great for all of us dedicated to this sport. For Andorra it would be also very important, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best drivers live her so it is strange that there is no circuit or a school to train young drivers. Please tell us little about yourself? What are your daily activities? A day has not enough hours! I am actually preparing myself for the Dakar race. Training 5 days a week in a row with two blocks per day, one in the morning and another one in the afternoon with Joel in Anyos Park. Besides that, I do a lot of travelling with the sponsors and I spend time with my family. What made you change from motorbike to car? I received an offer and I thought it was the right moment for a change, also because it was an unique opportunity. In this world Peugeot is very well situated and there are only 4 official pilots. To be one of them I realise that I am very fortunate to have had that opportunity. I come from the world of motorbikes and had never raced cars before, so I really appreciate this. How did you experience the Silk Road Rally 2015 in China where you obtained the second place? Well, first time China, first time participating in this rally with a new codriver, David Castera, who also lives here in Andorra. For being our first rally together, the truth is that the result was very good. Besides being very satisfied with the time we achieved, it was great having a chance to discover China with its spectacular desert.

THE WHITEBOOK

Andorra 500, how did you experience this first edition? Very well. The participants were very satisfied with the organisation. This rally for classical motorcycles with three different stages is for people from 40 to 70 years who never had the opportunity to participate and who have a special affection for old motorbikes. The route was designed to show everything Andorra has to offer in terms of landscapes, roads and gastronomy. I am very grateful for the Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cooperation in its effort to close the roads. This year 80 pilots have discovered Andorra. To be repeated! SAM DECOUT

Coming up Events? Next one is Dakar. On the 26th of December I will be travelling to Buenos Aires. I go to Morocco now and before leaving for Dakar I will be visiting some other countries, but these are small training sessions before the big competition starts. To organise one of these sessions is very complicated. The whole mechanical team has to come along as well as the project managers. It is a big team and results complicated to organise it all. It is the team who decides when we train and not just me. On 22nd September Peugeot presented the 2008 DKR 16 for the next Dakar. What new features does it have? This year the car is 20 cm longer, with a diesel motor of 350 bhp, two turbos and dropping 200 pounds of the total weight which means a faster and lighter car. The suspension system has also changed a lot. Many working on these improvements believe Peugeot to be in the top positions and podiums this year. The 2008 is the only model manufactured the same way anywhere in the world. Challenges and new projects coming up? In terms of sports the plan is to continue two more years with Peugeot, due to my contract. But because of my passion for motorcycles, I would like to continue with the Andorra 500 and see it grow, not because it is an enormous event, but simply the people participating really enjoy the country the same way I do. The landscape, the food, the peopleâ&#x20AC;Ś.they discover the quality of life Andorra has to offer.

WAKE UP

RENEW YOUR ENERGY To start the day with a little exercise routine is good for your skin and mood. You can do some yoga or stretching, both of them will improve your flexibility and respiration.

TECHNOLOGY If you want to get a proper rest, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use any technological devices in bed, such as laptop, telephone or television. All these devices stimulate the mind and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let you rest properly. Turn off the machines!

Start the day with fresh energy and finish relaxing to get a proper rest! THE WHITEBOOK

SPOIL YOURSELF After having a shower take 5 minutes to treat your body and face with a good hydration lotion (Elizabeth Arden Superstart, hydration treatment that last throughout the day).

Fitness

TODAY WE GO TO THE “GYM”! MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR WORK-OUT There are many ways to exercise, you can do it in the gym or outdoors, alone or in groups……what matters is not to get bored and make the most of your work-out. The best time to exercise depends on your goal, but mornings are good to increase the muscle mass, afternoon workouts are better to build up resistance and burn fat. Bear in mind that you should eat before you start exercising the body If you train first thing in the morning, you can eat a piece of fruit before starting and when you finish you can have a good breakfast with protein, fruit and cereals to recover. If you eat healthy regularly, no need changing your diet, only if you train intensively. If this is the case it is advisable to take multivitamins to compensate your work-out. Do not forget to drink lots of water, 2 to 3 litres a day. Remember that the effort is more important than time. Half an hour of intense exercise is more effective than an hour without leaving your comfort zone.

“Do not fall into the routine, this is synonymous of boredom”!

JUMP When was the last time you jumped rope? It’s a cheap, portable, and effective way to exercise. Give it a whirl! You will burn lots of calories. THE WHITEBOOK
