Balearic Islands

Sa Calobra is a small cove in Majorca located in the Sierra de Tramuntana. Surrounded by spectacular mountains, it is a unique enclave in Mallorca. Its location and small dimensions make Sa Calobra a magical place. The road to access Sa Calobra is incredible and one of the most famous on the island for its curves with more than 10 kilometers of ups and downs, its viewpoints and its spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea.

The Royal Charterhouse of Valldemossa is the most emblematic building of this small mountain town located in the Sierra de Tramontana, in Mallorca. It is noted for its green neoclassical dome and for being the home of many artists, including the pianist Frédéric Chopin and the writers Rubén Darío, Miguel de Unamuno, Azorín, Jovellano, Santiago Rusiñol and the writer George Sand. In fact, during his stay at the Charterhouse, Frédéric Chopin composed Preludes Op.28, while his partner, George Sand -pseudonym of Amandine- wrote the internationally famous book A Winter in Mallorca. Valldemossa was a great inspiration for the pianist and the novelist if we taking account that they only spent 95 days in the Mallorcan paradise. The Valldemossa Charterhouse complex consists of the Palace of King Sancho and the concert hall, the Church of the Charterhouse, the old monastic pharmacy, the museum of Frédéric Chopin and George Sand and the Municipal Museum of Valldemossa, divided into four sections: An exhibition of the old Guasp printing press, one of the best preserved in Europe, and a collection of 1590 woodcut matrices from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries; a room dedicated to Archduke Ludwig Salvator of Austria; a room of works by painters who were inspired by this part of the island, the Serra de Tramuntana and, finally, a collection of Contemporary Art.
