Famous for the monastery that became was abandoned and latterly hosted George Sand and Frederic Chopin in the winter of 1838/39, Valldemossa is a beautiful place to visit and walk the cobbled streets and visit the museum filled with works by Picasso, Miro and of course there is Chopin’s cell with small Majorcan piano, death mask and hand cast. More importantly, the village claims is the birthplace of Santa Catalina Thomas, Mallorca's patron saint. A peasant girl born in 1531, she became a nun in Palma and was renowned for her humility.
