CHOPIN´S HERITAGE-VALLDEMOSSA

Highlights of the Tour:

• Valldemossa is one of the most beautiful towns in the whole island of Mallorca and is where famous actors like Michael Douglas own a home and spend a great time during the summers. In Valldemossa is the famous Cartuja where Chopin and George Sand lived.
  The origin of the buildings dates from the times of King James II of Mallorca, who chose this exceptional place in the Tramuntana mountain range, situated over 400 metres high, to build a palace for his son Sanç, known as the Palau del rei Sanç. In 1399 King Martín el Humano ceded all the royal possessions in Valldemossa to the Carthusian monks. These founded the monastery and lived there until 1835, when it passed into private hands.
  In cells 2 and 4 there are documents and mementoes of Chopin and Goerge Sand's stay in Valldemossa between 1838 and 1839.
  The King Sanç Palace, a luxurious mansion that preserves elements of the ancient monastery, such as the staircase, the cloister and the defence tower The building has also been occupied by famous people such as Jovellanos, confined in Valldemossa for political reasons, Rubén Darío, Unamuno, Azorín and Santiago Rusiñol, amongst others. At present the music room of the Palace holds piano concerts performed by outstanding pianists.
  A suggestive walk through the concentric paths of the Monastery Gardens, surrounded by Yews and other trees, is the perfect ending for the visit.
