Valdemossa/Mallorca

The next day we drove up to a couple little towns, Valdemossa and Soller. Valdemossa was by far my favorite. There is something about these little Spanish towns which have been there for hundreds of years and still look the same. We met the group for cafe con leches, then split up and met back again to travel on to Soller.


This is a view of Valdemossa as we approached.
The little cafe where we had our coffee.

Another quaint corner shop.

There were orange and lemon trees everywhere. This was someone's backyard. Love it!


Valdemossa is also famous for being the place where Chopin spent a winter and composed some of his music. Here is his statue.

I never get tired of seeing these doorways with plants and flowers on the walls.

From there, we drove along a very winding narrow highway along the coast up to Soller.
Colorful police vehicles.


The great cathedral.
