"Un hiver à Majorque" Palma de Mallorca by Klod5
Palma de Mallorca Travel Guide: 1,066 reviews and 1,775 photos
J'ai fait le voyage "un hiver, à Majorque" sur les traces de deux amants célèbres : Frédéric Chopin et Georges Sand.
Majorque l'hiver est moins fréquenté, et il m'a semblé que les touristes étaient peu sollicités.
Hélas, il est impossible d'oublier, que l'industrie touristique est le premier employeur de l'île.
Majorque est défigurée par les tour operators et l'industrie touristique. Les touristes sont entassés dans les hôtels au goût architectural contestable, emmenés par les opérateurs dans des circuits qui montrent les seuls aspects politiquement correct de l'île.
J'ai réussi à découvrir des places sauvages, et, comme c'était l'hiver, il y avait peu de gens. La balade dans la ville de Palma vaut le détour.
I made a travel "one winter, in Majorca" on the traces of two famous lovers : Frederic Chopin and Georges Sand.
Majorca the winter is less frequented, and it seemed me that the tourists were there less solicited.
One is not able to, alas, not to forget, that the tourist industry is the first employer of the island.
Majorca is disfigured by the promoters and the tourist industry. The tourists, parked in hotels to the questionable architectural taste, are walked by towers operators, in circuits that show the only aspects politically correct of the island.
I succeeded in discovering wild places, and, as it was the winter, there were few people. The jaunt in the city of Palma is worth the detour.
Frédéric Chopin à écrit " Les préludes " alors qu'il était à Majorque, avec Georges Sand.
J'ai refait le chemin qu'ils ont suivi, dans cette île dont l'écrivain dessine un portrait si noir. Pour ma part, résonnaient dans la tête des notes : les notes d'un piano qui a laissé s'échapper la musique d'un homme amoureux de sa maîtresse. Les notes d'un des plus beaux serment d'amour qu'il soit possible d'écrire.
Frederic Chopin to writing "The Preludes" whereas he was at Majorca, with Georges Sand.
I redid the path that they browsed, in this island whose writer draws a black portrait. For my part, I had in the head of the notes that resounded: the notes of a piano that let escape the music of a man in love of his mistress. The notes of one of the most beautiful vows of love that one can write.
Dans le nord de l'île il est possible de découvrir une nature plus authentique, dans les petits villages pittoresques au sein d'un environnement centennaire.
In the north of the island is even possible to discover its true nature, in the small picturesque villages within a centennial nature. ï
