Valldemossa occupies a privileged area in Majorca's
"Serra de Tramuntana" having the most beautiful village
of the island. The village is built on the mountain on
terraces erected with traditional stone walls known as "marjadese".
These constructions mark the landscape and are an
unforgettable sight, which bewitches every year
thousands of visitros. Tourism is the town's major
source of income. The town has narrow, enchanting and
inclined streets with houses whose façades are festooned
with flowepots and pi8ctorial tiles, which narrate the
life of the local blessed Catalina Thomàs. The Saint was
born in 1533 and the house where she was born is located
next to the church. A delightful itinerary through the
town's history and tradition attracts visitors
world-wide. Some of these places are: the Cartuja, where
Chopin and George Sand lived during a winter in Majorca,
the Palace of Rey Sancho and the Chuch of San Bartolomé.
The food specialities of the town are also very
appealing. |
