Deia and Claudius

Deia and Cladius
They say it’s one of the prettiest towns in Spain, and not without reason. Deià adds the charm of the Mediterranean that bathes, has 5 miles of coastline with clear waters and very blue, and the majesty of being in the Sierra de Tramuntana . A sum in the nature of mountain, sea and up-keep in mind that the highest point of the municipality, Puig Teix is over 1,000 meters above sea level, which does not remove luster to one of its greatest virtues is Deià Above all, a perfect tandem between privacy and nature in Mallorca.

Perhaps so, since the nineteenth century to today-Mike Oldfield was one of its inhabitants, artists, musicians and writers have found these just 15 square miles the best shelters. The quiet magic of this corner also has a distinguished gallon in its history: the ‘I, Claudius’ of Robert Graves was born, was written entirely in the people-lived – the house of writer you can visit-and, interestingly, died, the remains of the English writer buried in the cemetery in this corner of Mallorca.

A humble tombstone, beyond the graves travelers famous cult , you must visit if you want to look at its best what Deià. The reason, simple: the cemetery near the old church was built in the town’s highest point and offers those who dare to climb its steep streets, a unique sight. On the one hand, the valley and on the other, the Mediterranean. Drifting through the streets, downhill is best enjoyed the essence of people-is go terraced buildings in the gardens of bougainvillea, palm trees and shades shutters seem props despite being just innocent party housing.

No wonder that a landscape in perfect marriage of olive trees, sea and stone attracts tourists and residents. It tastes authentic and Mallorca island, but away from the noise and inconvenience for a single conservative souls: the access road to the village is a winding route to take it easy. The upside: the mountain that runs entirely, especially allowing the co-pilot, enjoy the landscape.

One obstacle that is not insurmountable and that opens the doors of one of those places that if you once, you always want to return at least one other.
