Deià al medioday
Salimos tarde de Palma. La MA-10 se abre como una promesa entre olivos milenarios. En Deià comimos en Es Racó d'es Teix — el menú corto, el vino de Binissalem, la sobremesa larga. Bajamos a la cala andando: pendiente seria, zapatillas sí. El agua estaba a 21°.
- ✓Reservar Es Racó con 2 semanas
- ✓Llevar agua, no hay chiringuito abajo
- ✗No ir en agosto — masificado
