The mountain village of Deia in north west Mallorca is one of the island’s most Bohemian villages. It was where Robert Graves repaired to after Getrude Stein recommended he moved to the Mediterranean for his health. Since then, a variety of artists, musicians and – latterly – celebrities, have been attracted by the glorious views over the Traumuntana mountains and down to the Mediterranean Sea.
