Explore the surroundings

Away from the hustle and bustle of major Majorcan cities, you’ll find gems like Deià – a charming village full of winding walkways. But being out and about in nature means you might spot the furry, feathery and fluffy. If you do clock any animals, try your best not to disturb them – admire from afar.

Top tip: protect the wildlife
If you’re hiking, stick to the designated paths and refrain from uprooting plants, to preserve the island’s nature.
