Warriors Rent a Car
Valldemossa to Deiá Get out on the open road and explore Mallorca with Warriors Rent a Car. One of the most breathtaking and stunning drives in Mallorca is the route that takes you along the coast between Valldemossa and Deiá. With spectacular scenery across the Mediterranean sea and countryside this makes a great drive. Be warned that the road at times is quite bendy as it snakes along the coastline. Head for the Via Cintura and follow the signs to Valldemossa where the road takes you through the countryside of large olive and almond groves. As the road starts to climb you’ll see the village of Valledemossa in the distance, distinguished by its church spire and terrace hillsides.
If you decide to head on to Deia you’ll continue on the coast road where you will come across some beautiful views, so make sure you have your camera with you as it really worth stopping and talking some pictures of the azul blue Mediterranean Sea. Once in Deiá park up and enjoy a wander photo by automotive around the little back rhythems streets, you may even see some famous faces as Micheal Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones have a house nearby and Richard Branson once owned the very elegant La Residencia. Head down to Cala Deiá where you can enjoy a fantastic meal with a glass of vino overlooking the ocean. A little piece of paradise!
Once at the village it is worth parking up and having a wander around. It’s a beautiful village made famous by the writer Robert Graves and classical composer Chopin.
