GUIDED TOUR OF PALMA AND VALLDEMOSSA

The visit starts at the place where you are staying: Cruise, hotel, agritourism… we head towards Valldemossa, and from the road we will be able to contemplate the marvellous nature that the Serra de Tramuntana offers us.

Once there, we will take a pleasant walk through its cobbled streets and alleys, cross the Carthusian gardens and explain the origins of King Sancho’s palace and its subsequent transformation ceded to the Order of St. Bruno. After Mendizabal’s disentailment policies were applied, the Carthusian monks’ cells were left in private hands and adapted as rooms to rent to new guests: artists of all kinds from all over the world, including Fréderic Chopin and Aurora Dupin, known as George Sand, stayed in this building that was so important to the life of the people of Valldemossa.

You will not be left indifferent by the collection of ceramics in every corner, doorway, house and business in the village, dedicated to a person who is very dear to Mallorcan culture: Santa Catalina Thomàs.

We will arrive at the parish church of Sant Bartomeu with its majestic bell tower, twin of the Carthusian monastery. Of course, at some point during the visit, it is essential to try a delicious “Coca de Patata”.

After that we will visit Palma old town, the Jewish Quarter, mallorquin “patios”, the seaside neighborhoud and we will discover the jewel of Gothic architecture: The Cathedral of Mallorca. Do you know why they call it the cathedral of the sea or the cathedral of space.  Did you know that Antoni Gaudí worked on the cathedral?  Do you know the artist Miquel Barceló and his contribution inside the cathedral?
