Santuari de Lluc
About 20 miles (32km) beyond Soller, after a precipitous drive
through the Serra de Tramuntana in the north of the island, is the
remote mountain village of Lluc, in a valley that has been an
important place of pilgrimage since the 13th century. Lluc became
Mallorca's most sacred site when a shepherd boy discovered a dark
wooden statue of the Virgin in a cleft in the rock. The miraculous
statue returned to its cave three times after being placed in the
local church. Now the statue, known as La Moreneta, has been
encrusted with precious stones and presides in its own chapel,
receiving pilgrims and tourists who come to pay homage each
day.
