Description

Venture into the Majorcan countryside and discover a magnificent monastery, an imitation pearl factory and a photo-worthy Gothic Castle. You’ll travel through a landscape of mountains and plains brimming with almond and olive trees en route to Valldemossa, a serene town that has inspired artists for generations. Arrive at the splendid Cartoixa de Valldemossa, a former Carthusian monastery perched 1,200 feet above the Musa Valley, and embark on an approximately one-hour tour of the sanctuary. You’ll learn the stone-built structure dates to 1309, with its church added in the 15th century, and that in the winter of 1838-39, Aurora Dupin, who went by the nom de plume George Sand, along with her lover, Frédéric Chopin, spent three months here hoping to conquer the composer’s tuberculosis.

In the town of Valldemossa, enjoy time on your own with an opportunity to visit a traditional Majorcan imitation pearl shop for invaluable insight into the manufacture of these coveted ornaments. During your return to Palma, you’ll stop to capture photos of Bellver Castle, a revered 14th-century Gothic landmark. Gaze in awe at its unusual round design and seemingly impregnable fortifications, punctuated by towers of varying heights, another highlight of endlessly bewitching Mallorca.
