A day in Valldemossa
What to do in Valldemossa in one day, in the order that makes sense: Esporles: Wood-Fired Paella at Chef Aina Aulí's Finca, Port de Valldemossa (Sa Marina) and Sa Fonda. With the times, the journeys and what it costs.
The times are planned for a Saturday in november, with sunset at 17:42: every place is open when you arrive, according to its hours. They change with the season and we review the plan every week.
Morning to mid-afternoon
Lunch is part of the experience; then a cove and a drink at sunset.

Cove or beach · ValldemossaPort de Valldemossa (Sa Marina)Drive down in a small car an hour before sunset: there are few parking spaces, they fill up, and there's no bus. Book a table on Es Port's terrace for the sunset and drive back up slowly, as the road has few places to pass. In a north-westerly or tramontana the sea comes into the cove: don't swim that day.
