Mallorca > west coast > little town Deia

One of the most romantic villages on the Mallorcan west coast is the little town Deia.

You can find Deia on the famous excursion route directly on the cliff coast road in the west of Mallorca on highway MA-10. This tour takes you from Paguera to just before Puerto de Soller and is a must for every Mallorca holiday program.

Deia itself is a dreamy mountain village. Most tourists fail to discover the true beauty of Deia by driving only on the coastline roads. As you drive into Deia, you immediately see the town’s landmark in front of you on a hill – the village church and its cemetery where the famous English writer Robert Ranke Graves is buried. Immediately after the town’s signpost there is a carpark on the left. You should stop here because parking in the town is very limited. When you have parked your car, the path to the village church cannot be overlooked. The modest „climb“ winds up a small, romantic pathway to the top and even at the slowest pace takes maximum 10 minutes. After visiting Deia’s church, you should visit the cemetery behind, it may sound macabre for some but from this cemetery, you have the most beautiful view of the wooded hillsides of the west coast and the sea. Deia is still a small village, of which there are so few, well worth a visit for its exceptional beauty.
