Santuari de Lluc

The Santuari de Lluc[1] is a monastery and pilgrimage site located in the municipality of Escorca in north-west Majorca.

It is located in a basin on a height of 525 metres and is surrounded by a number of high mountains such as the Puig de Massanella.

It is also known for its boys' choir, Els Blauets (a name derived from the blue cassocks worn by the boys), which was founded in 1531; the choir holds regular concerts and has gained international fame.

As it is located centrally in the Serra de Tramuntana the monastery is often used as a starting point for walking-tours.

Behind the monastery buildings is a botanical garden trail, containing a small exposition on preserving the environment of the Majorcan mountain region.
