Deià town council suggests walking down to it: 3 km on a wide, well-marked path, an hour's descent to sea level and about two and a half hours round trip. The route Start. From the Son Marroig estate car park, beside the houses. Viewpoint. Iron railings mark the way; on the right is a viewpoint over Sa Foradada. Down through the pinewood. The path leaves the estate and descends among pines to the sea. Along the way you will see small buildings probably used by smugglers, and on the right the estate's white marble temple. The cove. You reach the cove of Sa Foradada, beside a restaurant. From there a descent to the water begins with a rope and a mesh handrail. The town council describes it as a pleasant walk on a path you "cannot miss". What is tiring is the return: everything you go down you climb back up. When to go All year. In summer, go early or late and bring water: the pinewood gives shade, but the climb in the sun is heavy. In winter it is a very pleasant walk. Getting there and parking Son Marroig is at kilometre 65.5 of the Valldemossa to Deià road, the Ma-10, about ten minutes by car from each village. The house museum is closed on Sunday; the website says nothing about access to the path that day, so if you go on a Sunday ask first on 971 639 158. With children or a dog With children who can walk for an hour without stopping it goes well; with a pushchair, no. The descent to the water by rope is not for little ones. On dogs, neither the town council nor the estate says anything: ask first. ## Cómo llegar y contacto - Coordenadas: 39.7554, 2.6224 ## Cerca de aquí - [Son Marroig, the house of Archduke Ludwig Salvator](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/balearic-islands/valldemossa-and-deia/things-to-do/son-marroig), a 732 m - [Deià Cove](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/balearic-islands/valldemossa-and-deia/things-to-do/deia-cove), a 1.6 km - [Es Pi, the restaurant at Sa Pedrissa](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/balearic-islands/valldemossa-and-deia/where-to-eat/es-pi), a 2.0 km - [Sa Pedrissa, a country hotel between Deià and Son Marroig](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/balearic-islands/valldemossa-and-deia/where-to-stay/sa-pedrissa), a 2.0 km - [Ca n'Alluny, Robert Graves's house in Deià](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/balearic-islands/valldemossa-and-deia/things-to-do/robert-graves-house), a 2.2 km - [Can Boi Refuge, in Deià](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/balearic-islands/valldemossa-and-deia/where-to-stay/can-boi-refuge), a 2.2 km - [Hotel Es Molí, in Deià](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/balearic-islands/valldemossa-and-deia/where-to-stay/hotel-es-moli), a 2.3 km - [Climb to Es Puig in Deià, the church and Graves's grave](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/balearic-islands/valldemossa-and-deia/things-to-do/es-puig-and-deia-cemetery), a 2.4 km ## Consejos ### Go down in the morning That way you climb back before the heat and still have time to see the house museum, which closes at 14:00. ### Bring water There is no fountain on the path. ### Closed shoes The path is wide, but the descent to the sea is not for flip-flops. ## Preguntas frecuentes ### How long does it take from Son Marroig to Sa Foradada?
