We conclude our trip on this wonderful island by travelling along the NW coast southwards and then along its SW coast to Palma where our plane back to Britain awaits later in the same day. Our first big stop is in the small town of Valldemossa not only famous for its beautiful location and town splendour but also for its association with the composer Chopin. We see here a view towards the triple named: Carthusian Monastery, Parish church of Sant Bartomeu and also the Chapter House. This is where Chopin and George Sand spent the winter of 1838-9. The Real Cartuja was originally a royal residence, until Carthusian monks occupied the building from 1399 until 1835. The Pips shows us some alternative views too. Best seen full screen.
