Nestled in Tramuntana mountain range of Mallorca largest island of the Balearics and incredibly popular holiday destination spot lies the town of Valdemossa. The main part of the town is above this section which is from where I took the picture. Its streets are filled with oranges and it was here that Frederik Chopin and his lover George Sands spent part of their Winter in Majorca of which Sands wrote the book of the same name. / Mallorca has been trying to change its image of sun, sea, sand & sex unsuccesfully for some time but there are a multitude of cultural and sporting events on the island that run through the winter time so you can spend your own winter in Mallorca.

Inside Palma Cathedral, Majorca. The Seo was build on the site of an existing Arab mosque. The legend has it that one night in 1229, as Jaime I was on his way to recapture Majorca, his fleet was struck by a terrible storm. He vowed to the Virgin Mary that if he survived the storm, he would erect a church in her honor. And after the storm had blown over, finding himself safe and sound, he immediately undertook the project. It was a vow that was to take a long time to fulfill. begun in 1230, the cathedral was finished in 1601. Designed in the French Gothic style, the cathedral is 121 meter long and 55 meter wide. The main body of the church is set in the middle of a mass of pillars and spires, behind which lies the strong buttress reinforced with a double row of flying arches. The bell tower, still unfinished today, is 52 meter high with three stories. The main facade, which overlooks the Almudaina Palace, collapsed during a 1851 earthquake and was later completely reconstructed, with the exception of the Renaissance-era door which miraculously emerged unscathed. The vast, airy interior is striking for its large-scale harmonious proportions. It features three naves resting on 44-meter tall octagonal pillars, eight chapels each side of the nave, and lacks both transept and ambulatory. The rear interior reveals the majestic “Royal Chapel”, which is nearly as large as a church in its own right: 25 meter long and 16 meter wide. The columns are ringed with wrought-iron candelabra by Gaudi; his most controversial addition is the unfinished Crown of Thorns, fashioned from cardboard and cork and suspended above the altar.

/ A pond in the outside corner of The Royal Palace of La Almudaina in Palma de Mallorca. The pond is inhabited by a single black swan (well, I only saw one) that has its own ramp and ‘kennel’ that can just be seen at the top left of the pond.

In Valldemossa there are few vehicles, nainly because the narrow streets do not allow for them. All the houses are so beautifully kept and potted plants are in abundance. /

Taken in the Village of Valdemossa where Michael Douglas had his Costa Nord project and where he has a house somewhere up in the hills. Valdemossa is famous for being the winter retreat of George Sands and Frederik Chopin where the former wrote a book about how much she hated the place an its inhabitants. Nowadays the Mallorcans sell thousands of copies of this book to tourists. Mallorca is a great place for weddings and it’s this type of shot that we sometimes use as part of the album setting the story of the wedding in motion.

As it says. They played a blinder despite the audience being thin on the ground. Mallorcans are not the biggest ticket buyers in the world, in fact there is so much on for free that they feel they need not bother. Pity it was a great Gig and after 44 years or thereabouts together colloborations with everybody and anybody including Van Morrison and the Stones the Chieftains are still putting their enthusiasm into every gig. 007 in a series “The Chieftains” all marked up at 25% except this stage shot which is 50%

On the eastern coast of Mallorca (Majorca) in the Balearic Islands, lies the ancient fishing village of Porto Cristo, located in a long bay where the El Rivet river meets the sea, it is now a popular holiday resort with a quiet, friendly atmosphere. Boasting the finest sheltered harbour on Mallorca’s east coast, Porto Cristo was formerly a significant naval base and it was the only town on Mallorca to see action during the Spanish Civil War, when Republican troops landed in 1936 in an attempt to take control of Mallorca from General Franco and his Nationalists, the attack failed and the island remained under Franco’s thumb for the rest of the war.
