It is impossible to miss the glossy flyers with Michael Douglas’ picture stacked on every countertop in Mallorca. These advertise the Costa Nord Cultural Centre ensconced in one of Valldemosa’s historical buildings; the Centre has been set-up to inform outsiders of the natural and manmade heritage of Mallorca’s northern coast. To this end there is a virtual yacht tour hosted by Michael Douglas, the center’s benefactor and a long-time admirer and part-time resident of Mallorca’s northern coast. In this video tour you’ll learn quite a lot about the Austrian Archduke Luis Salvador who, after leaving the court behind, began to travel the world and found and fell in love with this area of Mallorca. A museum devoted to the Archduke’s writings and other work which has been meticulously acquired through the years by German historian Peter Kroll-Vogel is in the coastal town of Son Marroig just north of Valldemosa.
