As Long As I Have You (Children of the Promise, Volume 5)

Majorca is, quite simply, a paradisiacal island. Discover the secret, hidden side to the island, where private houses quietly exist behind thick walls of olive trees, protected from curious gazes of tourists. This is the side of Majorca only seen by the privileged few who live there, who have the luxury to enjoy, every day, not only the lush scenery but also the rich Majorcan culture and sumptuous cuisine (which you can test for yourself thanks to the house owners favorite recipes weve included in the book.)<P>The island, located near Ibiza off the Mediterranean coast of Spain, is the sort of place dreams are made of. Only a lucky few have turned such a dream into reality, and Country Houses of Majorca is your chance to see the stunning evidence in pictures. The 220 photographs highlight the islands most impressive houses, including many not revealed to the public eye until now. Among these treasures youll find Frederic Chopin and George Sands one-time winter hideaway, a tiny fishermans cottage miraculously perched on the islands southeast cliffs, and the beautiful, old, antique-filled fincas restored by Nona von Haeften and her husband, Wolfgang Siegfried Wagner, great grandson of composer Richard Wagner. Let yourself be seduced by the country houses of Majorca- you wont regret the experience, even if it sends you into fits of envy...
