Excursion Valldemossa & deia tour at Alcudia

Experience the splendid countryside, landmarks and flavours of Mallorca when you make your way into the hills and mountains to Valldemossa, where white-washed houses and villages are perched precariously on the sides of cliffs with olive groves and vineyards. Continue to the charming hill top village of Deiá for a wonderful, typical Mallorcan lunch at a beautiful restaurant.

Valldemossa and La Cartuja Monastery

Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately 1.5-hour drive to Valldemossa via Inca, the third largest town after Palma and Manacor. Upon arrival in the quaint village of Valldemossa, located at the foot of the northern mountain range, ascend the winding mountain road through vineyards and scented orange groves en route to the fortress-like Carthusian Monastery of La Cartuja.

Son Marroig and Foradada

Following your visit to the monastery, once frequented by the likes of composer Frederic Chopin and French author George Sand, continue traveling along the winding road and past cliffs more than 1,300 feet (396 metres) high toward the picturesque village of Deiá. A photo stop is made at Son Marroig for magnificent views of Na Foradada, a locally-famous rock formation rising out of the sea, before driving on to Deiá.

Deiá and El Olivo

Perched on a hillside with red-roofed houses amidst olive and almond trees, the quaint village of Deiá has been a favourite among writers and artists for many years. Upon arrival, take a guided stroll through the narrow, winding streets en route to the deluxe hotel La Residencia and lunch at the exclusive El Olivo restaurant. One of the best and most romantic restaurants in Spain, El Olivo has been the recipient of the 'Award of Excellence' by the prestigious Wine Spectator for four consecutive years.

At the conclusion of your visit, re-board your coach and commence the approximately 75-minute drive back to the pier.
