This itinerary takes visitors around the streets, plazas and most picturesque spots in the village of Valldemossa, an introduction to the places that witnessed French writer George Sand's and Polish composer Frederick Chopin's stay on Mallorca.

The celebrated couple resided in this Mallorcan village during the winter of 1838-39. Its landscapes, peoples and customs made a strong impression on the writer, who would set them down years later in a book entitled 'A Winter in Mallorca' (1841).

During their visit, the couple stayed in cells at the Royal Carthusian Monastery, admission to which is included in the tour.
