Deyá

"Deyá (en catalán y oficialmente Deià) es un municipio de la comunidad autónoma de Islas Baleares, España. Situado en la comarca de la Sierra de Tramontana en la isla de Mallorca. Limita con los municipios de Valldemosa, Sóller y Buñola. Con un ambiente bohemio que se deriva de atraer a artistas, músicos y escritores de todo el mundo para establecerse aquí, el ambiente es relajado y acogedor, inspirador y un poco excéntrico. El pueblo de Deyá está encauzado entre las impresionantes montañas de Tramuntana que dan paso al mar Mediterráneo. La arquitectura se compone de "fincas" tradicionales construidas en piedra, creando así unas vistas impresionantes. Al atardecer el tono rojo brillante azulado que inunda las montañas con una explosión de rojos, rosas y naranjas son un regalo único que ofrece la naturaleza de lugar. Deyá es un pequeño pueblo situado en el flanco noroeste de la Serra de Tramuntana entre Valldemossa, Sóller y Bunyola. Abarca 5 kilómetros de costa, e incluye los puntos de Sa Foradada y de Deyá, la Cala de Deià y la pequeña Cala de Llucalcari. La aldea está construida sobre una colina situada en un valle de la Sierra. El Teix se eleva sobre el valle. La Sierra de Tramuntana están cubierta por una extensa red de senderos utilizados por los fabricantes de carbón cuando se trabajan en los bosques, por lo que es el lugar de vacaciones ideal para los excursionistas fuera de los meses de verano."

"Deià is a small coastal village in the Serra de Tramuntana, which forms the northern ridge of the Spanish island of Mallorca. It is located about 16 kilometres (10 mi) north of Valldemossa, and it is known for its literary and musical residents. Its idyllic landscape, orange and olive groves on steep cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean, served as a draw for German, English, and American expatriates after the First World War. The English poet, novelist, and scholar Robert Graves was one of the first foreigners to settle in the village, where he collaborated with Laura Riding in setting up the Seizin Press. Graves returned after the war and remained in Deià until his death. He used the town as the setting for many of his stories, including the historical novel Hercules my Shipmate. His house is now a museum. Anaïs Nin visited the village in the 1920s, and she wrote a short story set on the village's beach. The Spanish writer, Carme Riera, recently wrote a short story about Nin's. The town is also the unnamed setting of the Uruguayan novelist, Cristina Peri Rossi's The Ship of Fools (La nave de los locos). The Nicaraguan poet and novelist, Claribel Alegría, lives in Deià today. Anja Rubik married fellow model Sasha Knezevic in this village in July 2011. In recent decades, the stars of literature have been eclipsed by the stars of rock and roll. The Virgin Records mogul Richard Branson has a luxury residence in the town, and his label's stars have often visited the village and sometimes jammed at the local bar, Sa Fonda. Deià was home to several Canterbury-scene musicians over the years, including Kevin Ayers, Robert Wyatt, and Daevid Allen. Mick Jagger, guitarist Mark Knopfler, and Mike Oldfield played there often in the late 1980s, as did Caroline Corr. Much of Fionn Regan's third studio album, 100 Acres of Sycamore was inspired by his time spent in Deià."
