About this experience
You will stroll through one of the most beautiful towns of the island - the ancient Valldemossa, where many famous creative personalities drew inspiration, learn about the history and legends of the famous Charterhouse monastery, and taste local pies with hot chocolate. In the capital of the Balearic archipelago - the beautiful Palma de Mallorca - you will discover the island's rich life since the time of the Romans, see the main city attractions, and visit its main symbol - the Cathedral of La Seu, epitomizing all the wealth of the historical and cultural heritage of Mallorca.
What to Expect
Charm of Valldemossa
The cozy town will conquer you with its authentic appearance and the atmosphere of quiet measured life. You will walk through its cobbled streets adorned with flower pots, visit one of the family bakeries where traditional potato pie is prepared and served usually with hot chocolate, learn about the village's religious patron and local traditions. We will talk about the history of Valldemossa, and near its main attraction - the Charterhouse monastery - I will tell you about the ancient abbey and its connection with the fate of the Polish composer Frédéric Chopin and his companion, the writer George Sand.
The Symbol of Palma
Then you will head to the capital of the Balearic Islands - Palma de Mallorca, where I will introduce you to the rich historical past of the city. Romans and Byzantines, pirates and Moors have all tried to capture the heart of the Balearic Sea here! You will discover picturesque streets steeped in local myths and legends, ancient buildings of various architectural styles, and of course, the city's main symbol - the Cathedral of La Seu. Examining the magnificent structure, you will learn why it is the most significant, emblematic, and artistically rich monument of Mallorca. And the image of its slender silhouette rising above the waters of the bay will probably be the brightest memory of your visit to the island.
