Capocorb Vell

Llucmajor, Spain

The prehistoric village of Capocorb Vell was one of the largest in Majorca. Nowadays there remain five talayots (Talaiotic culture flourished in Majorca between around 1300 and 800 BC) and 28 dwellings.

At Capocorb Vell, about 10km south of Llucmajor, you can see five talaiots and wander around the ancient village, 100m above sea level just inland from the coast. The Talaiotic people kept sheep and the sound of sheep bells in the nearby fields is a touching reminder of continuity.

Fascinating place. Worth a visit.

Great experience! A peaceful place to relax under the trees and take a journey through history. The entry fee is 3€ and there should be no waiting time. It's worth it. You can park right outside the nearby bar. When it's hot, middle of summer season, bring a bottle of water with you. It can be a thursty walk over the rocks and remaining sattlement buildings.

You need cash to get in (currently €3) so only one of our party could enter but he has a great time and I had a lovely peaceful time drawing outside.

Very interesting historical site. The five talaiots are fantastic. But it could use more information and descriptions.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
