Lecture series

How was Mallorca seen before tourism came to shape the island? The lecture series in Valldemossa takes up this question on 22 October 2026, focusing on Claude Dervenn, introduced in the event announcement as a traveller on Mallorca before the tourism era. It’s an opportunity for you to approach the island from a different perspective, looking beyond today’s travel imagery to consider an earlier traveller’s view. Set in Valldemossa, in the Serra de Tramuntana, this cultural event offers a starting point for reflecting on travel and the ways Mallorca has been perceived.
