Itinerary description
Deià - Port de Sóller GR 221
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.
Sóller:
The town of Sóller, in the centre of the valley, at an altitude of about 30 m, was already settled in the time of Moorish rule. One of its most distinctive features are the grand houses built towards the end of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th, paid for with money made by emigrants from the town. Many were constructed in the Modernist style, which was also used in the design of the façade of parish church of Sant Bartomeu, the Bank of Sóller and the houses of Can Prunera.
