Started in 1930, the Chopin Festival of Mallorca takes place in the cloisters of Valldemossa's Monastery (Cartuja). The programme primarily consists of works by Chopin, but there's music by other composers too, performed by renowned musicians and up-and-coming talents.
As well as concerts, which fall on four Sundays in August, there are exhibitions and other events that reflect the philosophy of the age of Chopin, one in which people battled for both individual and collective freedom.
