Valldemossa Day Trip | Things to do in Mallorca (Majorca, Spain)

If you’re looking for things to do while on holiday in Mallorca then I recommend visiting Valldemossa (Majorca, Spain).
Valldemossa is a quaint mountain village just half an hour’s drive from Palma de Mallorca, and offers a great insight into traditional Mallorca village life.
In this Mallorca travel guide, I'll take you for a walk about the gardens by the church and talk about composer Federic Chopin’s stay with his lover George Sand here in Valldemossa in the 1800s and book that was written about their stay Winter in Mallorca (Majorca).
Find out about where to stay in Valldemossa. Come for the day or stay in a rural or boutique hotel.
There are plenty of great Mallorca bars, cafes and restaurants to dine out in and great local shopping from traditional souvenir shops, clothes to locally made handicrafts.
Getting to Valldemossa: You can take the 203 TIB bus from Palma or Port to Soller to Valledemossa, drive (or take a taxi).

    Valldemossa looks amazing. A lot prettier / classier than the other busier coastal resorts. By the way, for years I thought Chopin was gay because I kept hearing the name of his lover ie George. Only recently did I find out that George is female : ) Enjoy the unusually good weather in the UK
