So, on November 8, after seven days of travel, Chopin and his lover &#8211; the French writer Amantine-Lucile-Aurore Dupin, better known as George Sand &#8211; arrived in Mallorca. At first, they stayed in Palma de Mallorca and then at the Charterhouse in Valldemossa, where they rented monastery cell No. 4. It consisted of three small rooms and a terrace with a beautiful mini garden. The couple traveled with with Sand\u2019s two children and the stay lasted until February 11, 1839.  <\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12311\" style=\"width: 716px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12311\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pianostreet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"706\" height=\"530\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pianostreet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image1.jpg 706w, https:\/\/www.pianostreet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 100vw, 706px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-12311\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cell No. 4 at Valldemossa Charterhouse.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The winter 1838\/1839 in Mallorca was extremely cold, rainy and nasty and Chopin&#8217;s health deteriorated significantly.
