The Palazzo d'Albis is a beautiful 16th century palace located in the north of the old town and a fabulous example of Aragonese architecture. It was the residence of Emperor Charles V, and is has been well preserved until today.

High mountains and deep valleys frame Valldemossa, the village where the island's first two 'celebrity tourists', composer Frederic Chopin and author George Sand, lived in 1838. Once here, make sure to visit the village's main attraction: The Carthusian Monastery of Valldemossa. Originally built as a royal palace in 1309 and later converted into a monastery of the Carthusian order, the Carthusian Monastery of Valldemossa is an impressive complex that houses a palace, a church, an old pharmacy, an art collection of some of the greatest modern Spanish and local artists, and the cells where the monks lived for 400 years to find peace and rest. Each cell has its own exit to the garden terrace with blossoming magnolias and a wonderful view over the valley.

For motorcycle racing lovers, this place is recommended. They organize motorcycle competitions and events here and they even offer motocross courses for those interested to learn the sport.
