Other Things to Note
There are beaches you can visit nearby, where you can swim and find some of the best seafood restaurants in Mallorca: Sóller Beach, Valldemossa Port Beach, and Cala Déia.
Frederic Chopin Piano Festival is held each year in summer. This is a series of concerts given by internationally renowned performers. A large number of people that love music and culture attend it; as well as Artdemossa, a fantastic night with concerts and art exhibitions throughout town. For updated events on Traditional Mallorquín Festivals, "La Beata", etc, please check online sites.
Spring, Autumn and Winter seasons are also very magical times to visit the village, either you can see flowers blooming throughout the enchanting little streets, watch the changing colours of leaves or visit the traditional family bakeries, where they serve up the local ‘coca de patata’ translated to ‘potato cake’, a sweet cake made with boiled potatoes to form a soft bun, commonly eaten with thick hot chocolate in winter time, a favourite amongst the locals.
Walking or hiking are ultimate things to do in all Seasons, you will find plenty of trails in Serra de Tramuntana with stunning views: Ermita de la Trinitat, S´Estaca, GR221 Son Moragues, hike from Deia to Valldemossa etc.
Cyclists also love to be located in Valldemossa, easy access to Deiá or Sóller towns. Golf Players have the Golf of Son Termes at only 10 minutes away.
