Valldemossa Charterhouse
Valldemossa is one of the cultural hotspots of Mallorca and is famous for it´s Charterhouse with it´s church.
You enter the Charterhouse through the church.
Next comes the old pharmacy.
The library houses a nice ivoiry altar.
You visit the monks cells.
From the balconies you have some beautiful views and they are nicely planted.
The Charterhouse was after it´s secularisation also a hostel and was home of Frédéric Chopin and his life partner George Sand. The rooms they lived in are now a separate museum which charges 4 € additional entrance fee. You see some hand written letters, scores and (big sensation!) his piano. In my eyes you should skip this museum if you aren´t a big Chopin fan.
Some tiles on the wall.
Next you leave the old Charterhouse and enter the palace where you first hear a 15 minutes Chopin piano-concert. After it you visit the palace.
