Before making your way to the village of Deià for the big celebration, we highly recommend leaving enough time to explore the capital city of Palma. The city center is a 15 minute taxi ride from the airport. La Seu, which is a gothic Roman Catholic cathedral, is a good starting point in which to explore the city. Here you'll find street-side cafés, nightlife, beautiful architecture, and plenty of culture and history.
One unique way to get to the west coast of the island is to take this vintage train to Deià's neighboring town of Sóller. The train ride is an excursion in itself and a great way to do some sightseeing. From there you can explore Sóller, take the connecting tram to the beach, or start heading over to Deià (20 min drive away.)
