Llucalcari, which is also known as Des Carrer, is a
hamlet which is 3 km from Deią as you head towards
Sóller. The hamlet has about 20 houses and is situated
on the side of a mountain above the sea, providing one of
the most idyllic images of Mallorca. It has a small oratory
with a simple interior which dates from the year 1600. Some
of the larger houses have their own defence towers and one
of these - Ca n“Apol·loni - has been the Hotel Costa d“Or
since 1933. There is a stone stairway leading down to the
sea through a pine wood, which comes out at a small,
pebbly cove known as Es Canyaret; there is a freshwater
spring and some visitors smother themselves in the mud to be
found here in order to benefit from the desired therapeutic
qualities which it contains.
