"Small little town, trapped in the mountains" Deyá by russian_yaz

Deyá Travel Guide: 13 reviews and 54 photos

A rugged landscape of forests and olive orchards is the incredible backdrop of Deià, a well-kept village with steep streets, lined with stone façades, that stretch on the slope of a seaside hill. Although the area was settled since Prehistory, the Arabs were the ones that, in the Middle Ages, named it “Ad daia”, and contributed many intelligent solutions to overcome the terrain's unevenness, such as terrace farming.

The archaeological site of Deià spreads along the side of a small hill that overlooks the Mediterranean.

Cold morning

Deià is surrounded by the unique landscapes of Sierra de Tramuntana, and is located only a few kilometres away from other towns like Valldemossa and Sóller. The scenic road connecting Deià and Valldemosa offers excellent views, between olive orchards and the sea.
