It’s a country that’s roughly half the size of the county I live in. It’s in a mountain valley, so you’re surrounded by peaks. La Vella is kinda cosmo, so there’s shopping but it’s also a little touristy. Super walkable, but hilly You can get up to some really fun climbs around 8600ft, which is great for kids. It’s about a half hour outside the “city”. There’s some more “authentic” towns and villages as you get out of La Vella.

It’s one of those “no tax” havens. So that might help inform what it’s like.
