The long sandy beaches of the Bay of Alcudia contrast with the steep cliffs of the Sierra de Tramuntana. Being in Cap Formentor, the northernmost point of the island, is an experience as powerful as it is overwhelming. A sensation that, illuminated by its lighthouse, you can’t miss.

We could say that the best known and most beautiful of the Sierra de Tramuntana are Valldemossa and Deyá. Two picturesque villages that you can’t miss on your trip to the north coast of Mallorca, as they offer another island far from the clichés.

Deyá, located between Valldemossa and Sóller, has a unique location between the Mediterranean Sea and the mountains, and is known as the most bohemian town on the island. You can’t leave the village without taking a bath in Cala de Deyá, its crystal clear waters and rocks make it one of the best virgin coves on the island.
