Deià, Mountain municipality in Mallorca, Spain.
The stone houses of Deià spread across the hillside between the Tramuntana mountains and Mediterranean Sea, creating layers of traditional architecture.
The Romans and Moors established settlements in this region, with Arab influences leading to the name Ad daia and the introduction of terrace farming.
The 18th century Church of Our Lady of Sorrows contains a Parish Museum displaying religious art collections and historical artifacts from the region.
Regular bus services connect Deià to Palma, while numerous hiking trails extend through the UNESCO-listed Tramuntana mountain range nearby.
The municipal cemetery, positioned at an elevated point, provides views across the valley and contains graves of numerous writers and artists.

Mallorca offers diverse landscapes where fine sandy beaches and wild coves surrounded by limestone cliffs succeed one another. On the northwest coast, Sa Calobra marks the spectacular mouth of the Torrent de Pareis, while Cala Figuera nestles between the rocky walls of Cape Formentor. To the southeast, near Santanyí, Caló del Moro and the Mondragó natural park reveal other facets of the Mediterranean coast. The island's architectural heritage reflects centuries of history. In Palma, the Gothic cathedral from the 14th century dominates the port with its nave standing 144 feet (44 meters) high and 61 stained glass windows. The round Bellver Castle, built in 1311, is perched on the heights of the city. The Drach Caves in Porto Cristo reveal an underground world spanning approximately 0.75 miles (1.2 km), including Lake Martel, one of Europe’s largest underground lakes. The Alfàbia Gardens in Sóller preserve Moorish hydraulic art from the 13th century, while the Roman site of Pol·lèntia in Alcúdia dates back to the 1st century BC. To the north, the s'Albufera natural park conserves 4,200 acres (1,700 hectares) of wetlands hosting over 250 species of migratory birds.
