Majorca Island (Spain) Days 1 & 2

We arrived to Majorca (about a 2 1/2 hour flight from Dublin) late in the evening on a Saturday, so getting to bed after midnight, we were tired on Sunday.  We stayed in a town called Soller, on the western coast of Majorca.  Port de Soller has it's own beach, walking distance from where we were staying (although we didn't walk there... the walk to the beach is all downhill, but coming back up would've been a different story)!  We spent a few hours Sunday at the nearby beach, then on day 2 we started exploring some of the cute little towns on the western coast of Majorca.


Here was our view from our house in Soller in the evening.  You can see the port and the beach.  Such an amazing view!

Day 2: The first adorable town we hit was Deia, just a short distance from Soller.  The drive along the coast is entertainment enough because it's so beautiful!  Then we got to Deia and had fun exploring this very pretty town.  Narrow streets only for walking, which was such an adventure.  The town was so quiet and not crowded at all.
This was our view while driving along the coast!



Exploring through the streets of Deia!


Lots of uphill walking, and partway through our walk through the town, we saw a lemonade stand... how convenient!  2 Euro for a tiny cup of lemonade, but it was worth it.  We were hot and thirsty, and it was fresh squeezed lemonade, yum!


View from partway up walking through the town.



There was a small church and cemetery here.  What a view!



Looking down from the cemetery.






The next town we explored was Valldemossa, another cute little town similar to Deia, but with its own special character.  One of my favorite things about this town were the hundreds of little flower pots attached to the walls of the homes, so adorable!




This cat has got it made!

Always interesting doors in European towns.

I wouldn't mind living in this little nook of the street.  


See what I mean?  Flower pots galore!!

On our drive leaving Valldemossa.

I'll take the house with the pool, please! ;)

Stumbled upon this cute little tower at the top of a cliff!




Love this fence made straight from the tree! (Although the spaces aren't exactly small enough to prevent small children from falling through... gotta keep a close eye on these kids!)


What a great day exploring part of the western coast of Majorca!
