Practical tip
The paid car park is tiny. It is better to park up in Deià and stroll down the 30-minute footpath.
Eating at the cove
From the village of Deià it is about a 30-minute walk down; the small car park at the cove fills up quickly in summer. There are two fish restaurants at the cove, including Ca's Patró March(Carrer Sa Cala 16) – a family-run restaurant in a former fisherman's house, open only at lunchtime until around 5 pm, roughly April to October. Book by phone; whole fish is priced by the kilo.
