Why Valldemossa Carthusian Monastery matters
Valldemossa is a pretty stone village in the Tramuntana foothills. Its former Carthusian monastery is best known for hosting composer Frederic Chopin and writer George Sand during the winter of 1838 to 1839. Today you can see the cells they used and a small museum. The village's streets and flowerpots make it charming.
