Culture
I bet you think we’re exaggerating when we praise the Sierra de Tramuntana. That’s why we will hand over to some of the most illustrious personalities who once fell in love with Mallorca. And they weren’t even Mallorcans! In Valldemossa, considered the most beautiful village in the Sierra de Tramuntana, you can visit the house where the great Frederic Chopin once lived. Later, in the idyllic little village of Deyá, you can see the house of the poet Robert Graves and the spectacular estate of Son Marroig, founded by Archduke Luis Salvador of Austria, who used to invite his cousin to come and visit. Perhaps her name will ring a bell: Empress Sissi. Illustrious guests for the island, don’t you think? Now it’s only you that’s missing.
Shopping
Shopping is a pleasure in the Sierra de Tramuntana. Because you know you’re getting local products of the highest quality. A perfect plan for your final days on the island is to
visit the fairs and markets in the Sierra de Tramuntana villages. Then you can pack all your bags for the trip home with the best Mallorcan produce: ensaimadas, olive oil, olives marinated in every type of brine you can imagine, sobrassada or fine local wines. And if you buy the famous ramallet tomatoes, you don’t have to worry about getting them home. They are the only tomatoes in the world that stay fresh for more than a year.
