The title of this video does not, presumably for reasons one might deduce, actually explain what it is referring to, but refers to Llívia. The town became a Spanish enclave as a result of the 1659 Treaty of the Pyrenees, which ended the 1635 to 1659 Franco-Spanish War with a Anglo-French victory. The treaty ceded all "villages" north of the Pyrrenees to France. Llívia, a village-sized community, had the distinction of being considered a town by virtue of having been the ancient capital of Cerdanya, and thus was inadvertently not included in the language of the treaty. It thus has remained Spanish to this day.
