Antoni Gaudí's ambitious project remains, as of today, unfinished, which by no means takes away its massive popularity, receiving over 4.5 million visitors every year. The Basílica de la Sagrada Família, or simply La Sagrada Família, is a large unfinished Roman Catholic minor basilica, considered the best example of Modernist architecture. Meticulously crafted to embody the Christian faith through composition, sculpture, and individualistic, offbeat design, this masterpiece is the kind of attraction that has to be experienced to be believed.

The quiet, narrow, and winding cobbled streets of the Old Town echo with centuries of sea-faring, intercontinental trade, and intercultural encounters. Wander around these medieval streets and discover high traditional Mallorcan buildings, spectacular squares, beautiful courtyards, and so many more historical treasures. This is also where you will find most of the must-see tourist attractions, such as the magnificent La Seu Cathedral, the Royal Palace of Almudaina, and the Es Baluard Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art.

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.
