More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the coach onto flagstones warmed by morning sun; mountain terraces rise behind, the Tramuntana’s limestone ridges casting long, sculpted shadows. Valldemossa’s narrow streets funnel visitors past shuttered stone houses to the former Carthusian monastery where Chopin composed in exile — the village’s silence has a voice that hints at old winters and simpler rhythms.
