Cradled in a valley within the Tramuntana mountains, Valldemossa captures the old-world romance of rural Mallorca. Travellers aren’t the only ones who find themselves enamoured with this village, which is all blonde cobbled paths, countryside views and stone terraced cottages. Polish composer Chopin famously spent time in Valldemossa, and to this day there are frequent concerts of his musical masterpieces here.

At the Royal Carthusian Monastery (Real Cartuja) – today an eclectic museum – you can see the cell where Chopin used to board, as well as artworks by Picasso, Joan Miro and more.
