A friend in Palma took me to Valldemosa, a beautiful mountain village in the Sierra Tramuntana. It is a very photogenic and romantic place. It is also a good place to find traditional crafts and gifts for people that didn’t get to come with you. My friend introduced me to a friend of hers who designs and makes clothing. I saw some very artistic quilts as well. We stopped at a café before returning to Palma. Elena ordered a coffee and I an horchata de chufa, a drink made from tubers that grow on the roots of a plant much like the nut sedge that grows in the vineyards of the San Joaquin valley in California where I grew up. These tubers are much larger than those on the sedges of California, and are grown in Spain and Africa.
