Villaronga does Mallorquí lore. Tales of old have it that in the 17th century a dragon haunted Palma. During the day he hid in the city’s sewer, only to rise at night and eat whatsoever crossed his path. One evening, the creature chanced upon his master, Bartomeu Coch. In town to serenade his beloved, this knight gave the promptly slain beast as a gift. The mummified dragon can still be admired at a museum in Palma.
