High mountains and deep valleys frame Valldemossa, the village where the island's first two "celebrity tourists" — composer Frederic Chopin and authoress 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.

Fishing nets glisten brightly in Mediterranean blue as they lie out to dry on the quayside. Behind the nets you can catch sight of the stock exchange building, La Lonja, dating from 1388. This place, where locals now sip their coffee, was where most of the Mediterranean area's trade was handled during the Middle Ages. A bustling city, the island's capital never fails to surprise and impress all who visit.

Cala d'Or is a medium-sized and cosy resort-town located 65 kilometres east of Palma. The city has seven picturesque bays where you can enjoy the sun and beach. This is a very popular destination among Europeans and families with children. The town offers plenty of restaurants and bars, most of them located in the centre of Cala d'Or.
