3 unmissable villages near Palma de Mallorca
Mallorca is a destination that attracts travellers from all over the world. However, if you're looking to escape the crowds and discover the true essence of the island, you can't miss the opportunity to explore some of the charming villages near Palma de Mallorca. These three destinations are perhaps destinations that, at first glance, you wouldn't expect to be so beautiful.
Deià: Where the sea and the mountains meet
Deià, a picturesque village nestled between the Mediterranean Sea and the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, will welcome you with its charm. The stone houses, steep streets and the 16th century parish church of Sant Joan are the first things you should see. Also highly recommended are the 17th century Municipal Cemetery and the house of Robert Graves, a writer who found his source of inspiration in Deià.
If you're looking for a place to relax and have a drink, Café Miró is a good choice, from Mediterranean tapas to dishes such as black lentil escudella or creamy island rice with vegetables and jabugo ham. All this is enjoyed on a terrace with stunning views of the village of Deià and an exclusive collection of 33 original paintings by Joan Miró. We can't think of a better place to enjoy a few hours in the open air.
Sóller: a nostalgic train journey
Sóller, a village on the northwest coast of Mallorca, has one element that characterises it above all others, its wooden train. In operation since 1921, this red-coloured train can take you along the ancient routes through the mountains and valleys of the Serra de la Tramuntana. That is why Sóller is also the starting point of numerous hiking trails in the area.
The port of Sóller is ideal for those who wish to escape from over-tourism. From the terraces, you can enjoy the view of the fishing boats in the bay and the surrounding landscape. Be sure to try Sóller's canoneta orange, known for its quality and abundance of juice, and the delicious prawns prepared in the Restaurant Es Canyís.
Valldemossa: a dream village
Valldemossa is a town you will fall in love with at any time of the year. Its cobbled streets, stone façades decorated with flowers and spectacular sunsets make it an unforgettable destination. A visit to Valldemossa is not complete without trying the potato coca at Ca'n Molinas, a bakery-pastry shop that has been a symbol of the town's identity since 1920. This spongy delicacy is the perfect accompaniment to a chocolate a la taza, and a tradition that has endured through the generations.
In each of these villages, history, local culture and natural beauty combine to offer you a unique experience. For those looking to make the most of Mallorca, we recommend booking at the Hotel & Apartamentos Leman in Palma de Mallorca.
