ACTIVITIES

Sóller Railway and Tram

One of the main tourist attractions of Sóller is a ride in either the nostalgic wooden train or the antique tram. The history of the old train dates to 1912 when it was originally introduced to transport citrus fruit from the Sóller valley to Palma. Now it is an hour´s ride through a spectacular landscape with bridges, viaducts and 13 tunnels. The old electric tram was inaugurated in 1913 and runs between Sóller and Puerto de Sóller. It was designed for the transport of passengers, but also used to transport goods down to the port. The ride is a unique experience that goes through the many orange and lemon groves in the valley ending at the sea in the “Puerto”(port).

A stroll in Sóller

Sóller is one of the most beautiful places in Majorca. A typical Mediterranean old town with cute narrow streets, impressive townhouses with traditional green shutters and the lovely square in the heart of the town with the San Bartomeu Church and the Banco de Sóller, a modernist building designed by a student of Gaudí. Tradition and modernity merge very well in Sóller. Buy an ensaïmada in Forn Ca´n Panxeta, a bakery that exists since 1852, try the typical handmade Majorcan shoes made by Ben Calçats, a small shop with a little factory at the back or taste local products in one of the Gourmet shops or restaurants. Visit the Museum of modern art called Ca´n Prunera or just stroll through the streets and enjoy the typical flair of Sóller.

Port de Sóller

Puerto de Sóller and its long beach are an ideal place to visit during your holidays in Sóller, especially if you visit Sóller in the summer months. You can get there by car but it is especially recommended to take the picturesque tram that connects Sóller with the Port. It is a tourist area with a wide range of restaurants and bars. In addition, the beach of Sóller is very familiar and you can enjoy a great variety of water sports. On the beach of Puerto de Sóller one of the great traditions of the place is the renowned festival of Sant Pere on June 29.

Located in charming Puerto de Sóller, the picturesque large horseshoe bay is bordered by two sandy beaches: Es Traves and Playa d'en Repic. With its shallow water it is an ideal family destination. Endless shops, bars and restaurants can be found at the pedestrian promenade, all with superb sea views and sometimes beautiful sunsets. There is a large variety of water sports: boat rentals, Stand-Up Paddle and snorkelling are just a few. Puerto de Sóller is an unforgettable Mediterranean gem where mountains meet the sea.
