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
Valldemossa is a lovely place, with beautiful viewpoints. Thanks for sharing that with us.

What a gorgeous place Alex. I must have missed quite a bit of it when I went I only recognise some of it. Thanks for taking use around it. ( ps did you get the PayPal part of your buy me a coffee page fixed)
Great Alex info ! Alex is there a chapel on one of Side streets near the church ?

A lovely day and very beautiful scenery and architecture in this one
Looks really nice.
You mentioned the market,be great if you could do some videos covering the larger markets in Mallorca.And who doesn't like a market : )
Just watched this in glorious HD on the TV. Brought tears to my eyes! What a fantastic place. Just shows what I have missed on my previous trips. Might make this my base next time out, depending on hotel vacancies.
I am in love in Valdemossa
Followed your vlog almost step for step last week. In love with Valldemossa. Great tour Alex 👌
Looks great and very picturesque! If I moved there do other young people live there? Or is it more for older generations? I’m worried that I would get lonely
Thanks for all your advices🙏🏻❤️ I love your videos and I’ll be over to Mallorca shortly 🤞🏻🙏🏻
What time do you think is the best to get there? What time did you shoot this video?
You’re so beautiful and Your accent is fantastic. I am coming to live in Mallorca this fall to teach English all the way from New York. My name is Nick I am 35 and would love to meet up sometime after I get settled. I am renting a place in Santa Ponsa. I love your channel It is so helpful for what to expect!
Spent many a happy day in Valldemossa. Unbelievable place. Stunning in winter and the cafe Ca’n Molinas is absolutely amazing the garden they have is my favourite cafe spot on the island…..
I didn’t think I’d ever visit a village as amazing as Valldemossa but then I visited Fornalutx and I think that’s the most beautiful village I’ve ever seen….
Lovely town x
Looks.lovely there. Really enjoy your vlogs thankyou stunning lady x
I love your Vlogs
Is it true that under Spanish law you are NOT allowed to pick an Orange off a tree if you fancy one, you face a fine if you are caught doing so.
Just watched, it brought back so many happy memories of a truly beautiful place. It is so magical, I always got a special feeling when we visited. Thank you. Hopefully you have or will make some longer videos of this outstanding place.
What a lovely video Alex. Beautiful gardens. Beautiful views. Peaceful time of day to visit too. Thank you x
That was just what we were looking for! 🙂 Is Valldemossa the place to stay in your opinion?
Was hoping for something on Sa Foradada, but not here….
