Deia - As we hike back up the steep path to the top of the hill overlooking the peninsula of Sa Foradada, a quick look to our side reveals these most attractive trees. How could I not try to do my best with them?

Deia – We have reached our lunchtime destination of this wonderful rustic bar/restaurant perched on the cliff side overlooking clear blue waters. (see previous photo for views from here). The ‘Restaurante Sa Foradada’ describes itself as: “being in the perfect surrounding. Its Mediterranean balcony is located high on the cliffs facing the small peninsula of Sa Foradada." See PiPs “We specialize in rice and paella cooked in wood, local fish and seafood, salads, local desserts and, in general, Mediterranean and Mallorcan cuisine, with the extra touch of flavor provided by the sea breeze.” How true, as our meal and photos of the cooking surely testify to. Enjoy full size.

As we almost come to the bottom of our steep trek down to the waters edge and lunch stop, we see the beautiful view of this small peninsular as seen from the nearby restaurant. As I look at this view again, I wonder how that hole in the rocks was made. Enjoy full size.

The Wonders of Mallorca: Deia – Son Marroig This wonderful structure belongs to what is now the museum and grounds of ‘Son Marroig’, a beautiful 19th century manor that was owned by the Austrian Habsburgs. It was an emblematic possession in Deia where Archduke Ludwig Salvator lived. From here a wonderful garden path leads us to a trail down to the sea far below where more wonderful views and a fabulous little restaurant awaits. See PiPs for more view in and out. HFF, enjoy your weekend in safety.

Our fifth day on this beautiful Island takes us a just few miles south of Sóller to the village of Deia, still on this Western coast. This beautiful mountain village is just a few miles from the sea. "The small coastal village of Deià, on the northwest coast of Mallorca, is one of the prettiest villages on the island. Perched in a ravine at the foot of the Teix mountain, with views out to the Mediterranean below. Deià has long been a magnet for famous artists, writers and other creative people – most notably the writer Robert Graves. Acclaimed author Helen Walsh’s 2014 book The Lemon Grove was inspired by, and set in, the ruggedly seductive setting of Deià." Enjoy full size.
