The 'Punta de Sa Foradada' is one of the most beautiful landscapes in Mallorca. The name of the place is a reference to the rock you can see in this photo ('Foradada' = with a hole). This cape is in the Deia district (see below).
Photo taken from the 'Son Morroig',property the archduke Lluis Salvador d’Habsburg-Lorena had on the island. The 'Son Morroig' house is currently a museum. The strong winds that blow here (Tramuntana) are probably the cause of the hole in the rock.
The village of Deia is located on the Tramuntana Mountain range. The sloped sides of its mountains make of Deia a very beautiful town. The beauty of the village has attracted many visitors and many artists. Some of the most famous artists who’ve moved to Deia are: Joaquim Mir, Arthur Byne , lady Sheppard, Robert Graves, William Waldren, among others. The two latter set up the Museum of Deia. Not far from here Michael Douglas has a property. |
