"Small little town, trapped in the... " a Deyá Travel Page by russian_yaz

A rugged landscape of forests and olive orchards is the incredible backdrop of Deiŕ, 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 Deiŕ spreads along the side of a small hill that overlooks the Mediterranean.

Deiŕ 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 Deiŕ and Valldemosa offers excellent views, between olive orchards and the sea.
