Deià
A stone village clinging to the mountainside above the sea, home to poet Robert Graves's former house and one of the most beautiful villages in the Serra de Tramuntana.
Deià sits on the northwest coast of the Serra de Tramuntana, its honey-colored stone houses stacked up the hillside with olive groves behind and Teix mountain looming above. English poet and author of 'I, Claudius' Robert Graves lived here for more than half a century. His former home, Ca n'Alluny, is now a museum, and he is buried in the churchyard on the hilltop. A roughly 30-minute walk downhill from the village leads to the pebbly cove of Cala Deià, where the seafood restaurants by the water are famous. Parking in the village is extremely limited, so in summer take Bus 203 (Palma–Valldemossa–Deià–Sóller) instead, which can be combined with Valldemossa and Sóller for a day trip.
