Valldemossa
Welcome to Valldemossa
A small town in the Serra de Tramuntana of about 44 km2 and just over two thousand inhabitants. The occupation of these lands dates back to prehistoric times. The Muslim farmsteads were important, since at the time the valley where the town is located was owned by the Muslim Mussa. The Mussa valley will give rise to the toponym Valldemossa.
