Day 2
Valldemossa, Mallorca
Balearic Islands, Spain

 
Here is the cell No. 2 where Chopin and George Sand occupied. Sand wrote h's manuscripts, drawings This is the room where Chopin composed the Prelude, "the Raindrop." A flag of Poland perhaps was provided by the Polish embassy.
 
Portrait of George Sand. Here in this room, Sand wrote "A Winter in Mallorca."

The cell No. 2 garden is said to have been arranged based on the drawings of Sand's 15-year old son, Maurice. There were far more kinds of shrubs and flowers than the garden of the cell No. 4.

Even cacti could be seen. It was a lovely garden!
 
I stood the garden and viewed over the mountains and the town in the far distance, thinking of what Chopin and Sand might have felt then under the difficult circumstances. Now the garden was filled with flowers of all types and so peaceful.

Among all other flowers, this yellow rose looked the most appealing under the Mallorcan sun.
