El Olivo
"I stayed at La Residencia hotel in the small town of Deia, which can’t have a population of more than 200 yet boasts three Michelin-starred restaurants. The hotel’s El Olivo is one of them. We sat out on the terrace eating pan con tomate [toasted bread rubbed with tomato] and Bellota ham." Details Son Canals s/n; 011-34-971-63-9011.
