The Kirker Chopin Festival in Mallorca
Mallorca, Spain
tbc nights from £tbc per person
Heading north from Palma, visitors immediately see the foothills of the island’s dramatic Tramontana Mountains rising ahead. Passing through rural villages and tranquil valleys, the road reaches a high mountain pass, from which we are rewarded with spectacular views of the rugged coastline spreading in both directions. We meander along the coast enjoying splendid views of the mountain range and the sea, passing the village of Banyalbufar before reaching the village of Estellencs, where our Music Festival is based. The entire north coast of Mallorca, stretching from Estellencs to Sóller, is a protected area away from the madding crowd, where the island’s natural beauty is preserved.
