Like the end of the 19th century

I fall in love with things and places easily: I have various towns where I’d love to go and live after visiting them. In Mallorca, my infatuation had two parts: the first was in Valldemossa. The town, the first in the Tramuntana mountains if you come from Palma. It’s framed with green terraces and oozes a simple distinction of being from the end of the 19th century.

It’s shady streets are filled with banana trees and are a delight to walk through while you browse through antiques and buy something to remember the Balearen islands by. It’s almost certainly a must to try the ensaimadas, the typical sweet pastry from Mallorca, and change the shoes you’re wearing for some Menorcan leather ones.

However, even if you don’t eat or by anything, there are two things in Valldemossa that everyone brings with them. First, the image of the green-turquoise La Cartuja tower (seen from the gardens of the ex-monastery and between the camellia flowers and the fruit trees – is’ the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in my life). The other is the romantic and secret love story that played out between George Sand and Chopin.

Lovely

Valldemossa is a gorgeous town in Mallorca and a must-see while on the island.

It’s like a story, with dollhouses, each with flowers on the façade, with cute cafes, bakeries, and little stores, where you get the feeling that time stopped in Valldemossa years ago. It’s precious. The culture there is great, as well as the traditional dish “coca de patata” and almond horchatas. Come and get to know Valldemossa!
