The Deia Olive Press offers a unique blend of property intelligence, Deia and Mallorca news, and unparalleled insight into the rich cultural history of the village and the island.
We’re delighted to say that, since we launched the blog in early 2015, we’ve gained a loyal following among Deia and Mallorca residents and people all over the world who love this magical village.
In that time, we’ve showcased the amazing artists, musicians and writers of Deia and Mallorca. We’ve uncovered long lost cultural artefacts and introduced them to a new, fascinated, audience. We’ve connected journalists and film-makers to experts in Mallorcan cuisine, lifestyle and culture. And, we’ve reconnected people who’ve lost touch with each other over the years.
We’re also proud to say that we’ve done our bit to support the wonderful people dedicated to preserving and protecting our beautiful island.
Because celebrating what’s special about Deia and Mallorca and helping people who’ve fallen in love with the island find their dream home is what it’s all about for us.
The Deia Olive Press is brought to you by writer David Holzer and the team at Charles Marlow. If you have a question for us or you’d like to share a story, get in touch at hello@charlesmarlow.com.
We’d love to hear from you.
