Itinerary description

From Deià bus stop. Walk close to the ocean to Bens d’Avall. Then along GR-221 ending at the Port de Sóller bus stop to Palma.

Deià:
In the shadow of the Teix mountain lies Deià, a legendary village thanks to the cosmopolitan aura provided by artists from all over the world. It has three zones: Es Puig, crowned by the church and the cemetery; the central part, along the Valldemossa to Sóller road; and Es Clot, the lower zone and original heart of the village. Located on the north-western slopes of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, Deià boasts a privileged setting, between the sheer rock faces of Puig des Teix and the blue waters along Mallorca's north coast. Its beauty has made it one of the best known tourist spots on the island and it has been visited by artists from all over the world, some of whom are now at rest in the cemetery. The town has its origins in the farmstead "Addaya", which the king granted to Nunó Sanç, and he in turn to the Cistercian La Real monastery. Built in the surroundings of Es Puig, places of note include the parish church of Sant Joan; the nearby cemetery; the water supply system, with fountains, wash-houses and mills; and the houses, which conserve interesting aspects of vernacular architecture of the Serra de Tramuntana.

Cala Deia.
Deia’s harbour is a tiny, cove beach in the heart of the Tramuntana mountains. The beach is only about 70-meters long and is mostly small pebbles and large rocks. People perch themselves along the surrounding cliffs and rocks like lizards, coming to enjoy the clear, green-blue water and the majestic surroundings of mountains and stone houses.

Refugi de Muleta:
Served as a telegraph station from 1912 to 1953 and stands next to the lighthouse Far des Cap Gros above the narrow entrance to the harbour at Port de Soller.

Far des Cap Gros:
This lighthouse (before Port de Sóller) was built between 1842 and 1850 at the initiative of Sóller Town Council and was later incorporated into the state lighthouse network. It underwent alterations in 1870, in accordance with plans designed by the engineer Llorenç Abrines. The tower is twenty metres high and its light has a range of eighteen nautical miles. It was originally built in order to guarantee the safety of the ships that at the time would call in at Port de Sóller, the port of exit for many goods that were exported for the French markets, oranges from the Sóller valley in particular.
