    The annual Chopin Festival held in Majorca begins this month.

    First held in 1930, the Cloister of the Monastery in Valldemossa is the setting for a series of concerts honouring the work of the composer Chopin and is a popular event with those enjoying a holiday in Majorca.

    As well as piano recitals, the festival also includes the displaying of works from a number of avant-garde artists to promote the ideas of individual and collective freedom that formed the basis of much of Chopin''s pieces.

    Polish composer Chopin came to Valldemossa in 1838 with his lover George Sand. The couple believed the warm climate and sea air would help ease his Chopin''s ill health. The time he spent on holiday in Majorca is regarded as one of the musician''s most productive periods

    Meanwhile, feminist Sand wrote a novel about Majorca and its people which became a best seller. Thus every year tourists flock to the Spanish town to see the ''cell'' where the couple stayed as well as being able to see Chopin''s famous piano in situ.

    Jamiroquai frontman Jay Kay is reported to have enjoyed a fling with a Spanish model while performing in Majorca.

    The Daily Mirror claims that the singer had an encounter with Nereida Gallardo after his band played the popular Majorca holiday resort of Palma.

    A friend of the model, speaking to the newspaper, said: "It was two years ago. Nereida and another girl talked their way into the after-party and they immediately hit it off. He later took her back to his hotel suite."

    Teenagers taking a Majorca holiday this year could get the chance to take part in a Channel 4 health show.

    Embarrassing Bodies is a popular television programme that examines a whole range of unusual conditions and problems and is setting part of a new series on the Spanish island, reports the Majorca Daily Bulletin.

    The four programmes, produced by media company Maverick TV, are to focus on teenagers and will address a number of health issues that face younger people who holiday and live in the region in an attempt to encourage debate on conditions such as acne and the onset of puberty.

    One of the resort''s main beaches will be the location for a special drop-in clinic run by the show''s three presenters, Dr Christian Jessen, Dr Dawn Harper and Dr Pixie McKenna. It is hoped that teenagers on holiday in Majorca will take time out to seek professional advice from the experts.

    There will also be further follow-up treatment offered for those youngsters returning to the UK once their Majorca holiday has ended.

    To learn more about Majorca and its vibrant nightlife, why not take a break in Magaluf, the island''s party capital.
