Deia

Little Deia is situated just a few kms from the sea nestled on the hillside in a small dent in the Puig de Teix mountain (1062m), on Majorcas north west facing coast. The village gained independence from Valldemossa in 1583 and there are now some 850 people living in the municipality. Deia is derived from the Islamic ad Daia which means hamlet. The Moors too were responsible for the many terraces above Deia with their productive irrigation systems.

Originally put on the map by the Poet, Robert Graves who now rests peacefully in the villages graveyard Deia is now popular with the rich and famous and is home to wealthy artists and musicians.
