Valldemossa, Mallorca, is the most famous and arguably most lovely village on the whole island, perched atop a peak in the dramatic Tramuntana Mountains. Fancy a tour? Well, come on then!
Valldemossa, Mallorca, was stuck on the map way back when by the composer Chopin, who traveled up to the idyllic hilly pueblito with a lady writer friend called George. They had a rubbish time (more on that in the video), but I'll bet the ranch you won't have when you visit. Valldemossa is a staggeringly beautiful spot, with breathtaking views, and the quaintest atmosphere you can imagine... and all this a mere 20 minutes from Palma by bus or car.
Mallorca's Tramuntana range - a UNESCO world heritage site - is home to many gorgeous little villages and towns, but Valldemossa is the most famous of them all for a reason! So go on, watch this video to the end, give it a like (if you like it), don't forget to subscribe to my channel (no pressure) and make sure to take a trip to Valldemossa next time you're in beautiful Mallorca!
The Lluc Sanctuary - an extremely important and equally beautiful monastery in the Tramuntana - is another mountainous spot very worth while checking out, and you can stay the night if you're lazy and get a bit pissed like I did (yes, they have a bar - we're in Spain for God's sake!). Check out my silly but extremely informative guide to the Lluc Sanctuary here, a truly historic and very serene place on the island:

Valldemossa is a truly magical village situated in the simply stunning Tramuntana mountain range of Mallorca. If you ever get the opportunity to go, TAKE IT. You will not regret it... unlike the composer Chopin lol. Guys, if you enjoy the vid, drop me a like, a comment and for the sake of honorary Mallorquin Michael Douglas, why not SUBSCRIBE! (it is free after all ;). Cheers all!

With the limited time we had we still managed to see the main sights and even got to spend a few hours here in Valdamosa by hiring a cab driver to tour us around. Now I am planning to go back to show my husband this beautiful island in September and give it a proper visit. Thank you for making videos about Palma!

Well thanks mate - that's your wife and my mum that laughed - 2 out of 7 billion ain't bad! When I moved to Spain it was all about the Estrella Galicia... then got a bit bored of the flavour... then switched to Estrella normal... then some locals got me drinking Mahou (green tin - slightly less strong and less of an aftertaste than the red), and that's where I'm at. Mahou, for about a year... but, naturally, I'll drink absolutely bloody anything if it's a choice between lager or sparkling mineral water. Cheers mate, all the best to you both!

Hi Ruairidh ,thanks for the vid,never thought I’d see a video of Valldemossa with nobody around. Very strange indeed. When you left Palma you went into what seemed to be an underground bus station ? Never seen this when I was last in Palma ! admittedly about 10 years ago.. How about a video about public transport in Palma and around the island ? Take care now in these strange Covid times.
@RuairidhMason
@RuairidhMason 3 жыл бұрын
Brian! Very strange experience, but have to say it beats the crowds from last year. Not pleasant. The station is the Estacio Intermodal, right across the road from Placa Espana and down the escalators. There you'll catch buses to everywhere on the island and trains out towards Inca and Manacor. Not sure how long it's been there though. We're actually in Scotland for a while now (currently in quarantine!), but will be back in the new year sometime. Great idea for a video. I've still got a few more vids from Mallorca to edit though - gives me something to do other than look out the window at the grey skies :( Take care!
