French writer Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin (pseudonym: [[George Sand]]), at that time in a relationship with [[Chopin]], described her stay in Mallorca in ''[[A Winter in Majorca]]'', published in 1855. Other famous writers used Mallorca as the setting for their works. While on the island, the Nicaraguan poet [[Rubén Darío]] started writing the novel ''El oro de Mallorca'', and wrote several poems, such as ''La isla de oro''.<ref name=cervantes>{{cite web |url=http://cvc.cervantes.es/literatura/aih/pdf/03/aih_03_1_079.pdf |title=Rubén Darío en Mallorca |language=es |website=Centro Virtual Cervantes |access-date=30 December 2014 |archive-date=30 December 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141230134125/http://cvc.cervantes.es/literatura/aih/pdf/03/aih_03_1_079.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>
