Visit Lluc, Spain
Lluc Monastery and its museum and beautiful mountain location is one of Majorca's key sights. It has been an important pilgrim site for more than 800 years. The object of the pilgrimage is a small statue of the Virgin found by an Arab boy recently converted to Christianity. The statue, called La Morenta or the dark Madonna, was housed in the local church but kept returning to the spot where it was found and so a chapel was built there to house it.
The monastery has a beautiful inner courtyard and the museum contains religious art.
It is possible to stay the night in the monastery in simple rooms, former monk's cells, and benefit from the restful atmosphere.
Lluc Monastery has a famous choir called the Blavets. It is more than 500 years old - one of the oldest in the world. The choir sing twice every day adding wonderfully to the experience of visiting the monastery.
There are a number of walks around Lluc allowing you to benefit from the beautiful scenery on this part of Majorca.
