A video about Valldemosa is here www.youtube.com A beautiful old town in north-west Majorca sits on the slopes of the Tramuntana mountains. The town gained some sort of fame when Polish composer Frederic Chopin came and stayed at the Carthusian monastery (Cartoixa Reial) with his lover George Sand in the winter of 1838-39. The composer had tuberculosis but still managed to produce some of his best work here while Sand wrote a book called "A Winter in Majorca". Thanks for your watching, rating & subscribing.

Its location at over 400 meters (1312 feet) above sea level made breathing easier for his asthmatic son. It didnt stay in royal hands for long. In 1399 it was given to the Carthusian monks for whom it served as a monastary. Martín el Humano gave it away when the Kingdom of Mallorca was annexed to the Aragón crown. The monks pharmacy, which was established at the beginning of the 18th century and served the entire town, is still in place. The photo cant capture the look of a room with all four walls lined with these old bottles and ceramic containers. The Carthusian order was pretty severe.

Monestir de Miramar is placed not far Valldemossa and Deià. It has awesome landscape and stunning view over the Mediterranean Sea and Mallorcas west coast. Monestir de Miramar was founded by King Jaume II ( the first King of Mallorca) by a request of Ramon Llull in 1276. It was not only a monastery but a missionary college dedicated to the teaching of Arabic and other oriental languages. The Archduke Ludwig Salvatore of Austria (1847-1915) (the second cousin of Emperor Franz Joseph) bought this property in 1872. Ramon Llull (1232-1315) was a Mallorcan writer, philosopher and mystic. He is considered to be one of the most influential authors in the Catalan language. He established the Catalan language in its written form. Thanks for your watching, rating & subscribing.
