Photographer’s Note
Mallorca's most sacred site - a former monastery in a spectacular setting in the Serra de Tramuntana.
Lluc has been a centre of pilgrimage since the 13th century when an Arab shepherd boy, newly converted to Christianity, discovered a dark wooden statue of the Virgin in a cleft in the rock ..
Today the Santuari de LLuc is more like a hotel where you can stay in one of 129 rooms (which were known as ´cells´), all with bathroom and central heating.
The picture shows the Els Porxerets, the former pilgrims' quarters with stabling beneath the rooms.
