+34 971 87 15 25
Santuari de Lluc is a 13th-century monastery and pilgrimage sanctuary tucked into the Serra de Tramuntana; its basilica (home to the revered statue of the Virgin of Lluc), cloister, museum and gardens combine religious history with natural charm, and the site also offers simple pilgrim accommodation and serves as a popular base for walks in the mountains.
What Makes It Special
The sanctuary is famous for the Escolania de Lluc, a long-established boys' choir whose choral pieces during services add a haunting, authentic atmosphere to the basilica experience.
Insider Tips
Arrive early to enjoy the tranquillity and best light for photos before coach groups arrive; if you want to hear the choir or stay overnight in the monastery's simple accommodation, book ahead—and wear sturdy shoes because pathways and courtyards are uneven and the site has limited wheelchair access.
