Some of our days

Arrival day
Leaving Palma we arrive in Port de Soller in time for a gentle stroll around the Soller valley.

Day in day out to Deia
From Soller we follow the old postman’s route to Deia with a gorgeous new secret extension through olive groves and via a cobbled lane to Cala Deia. We lunch in the restaurant overlooking the bay before climbing up to Deia and exploring this famous and beautiful village.
