The route
Climb to Es Puig in Deià, the church and Graves's grave
On Sundays, the Valldemossa Charterhouse, Son Marroig and Robert Graves's house are closed. This plan makes the most of what does not close: the stone paths of Deià, a lunch at one of the few restaurants in Valldemossa open at midday on Sundays and the oil from Son Moragues. From Palma, Deià is about 40 minutes away.
The day, hour by hour
9:15 · Set off. From Palma to Valldemossa on the Valldemossa road and, without stopping, along the Ma-10 to Deià. Park in the village car park.
10:00 · Es Puig. Climb the cobbled streets and the tiled Way of the Cross to the church of Sant Joan Baptista. In front is the cemetery with Robert Graves's grave and the best view of the valley.
11:00 · The Camí de Castelló. Go down to the road and walk about ten minutes towards Llucalcari to kilometre 60.2. There starts the old path from Deià to Sóller: Son Coll, Can Miquelet and the Font de ses Mentides, in a little over an hour, returning the same way.
13:30 · Lunch at Es Taller, in Valldemossa. Twenty minutes by car. It is a former mechanic's workshop with a terrace onto the garden; on Sundays it opens from 13:00 to 16:00. Book by phone.
15:45 · Son Moragues oil. On foot through the village to the SONMO shop, which on Sundays opens until 20:00. If you have booked, the tasting is on the private terrace with views of the Charterhouse.
17:00 · Head home. In Palma in half an hour.
Where to eat
Es Taller is the safe bet for Sunday: seasonal cooking and a terrace. It closes on Mondays. If you prefer to eat on the coast, Es Pi, at Sa Pedrissa, serves from 13:00 to 15:00, but does not publish which days it closes: call ahead.
With children and with a dog
Es Puig and the Camí de Castelló suit children who can walk for an hour; leave the pushchair in the car. In hot weather, swap the path for the Deià Cove. The dog can come on a lead in the streets and on the path.
