Sóller Travel Guide

 mindcrime Says:  It wouldn’t be fair for this to be just another transportation tip. The most popular activity for the visitors of Soller is to take the tram down to the port.Slow and noisy the Orange Express will take you down to a 25’ ride that will take you back in time because it has... 

 mindcrime Says:  I was surprised how peaceful was the town away from Placa Constitucio. In the square visitors and locals gather at the café or taking the tram down to the port but we walked a bit further and we saw some empty streets with only some curious tourists checking around for a... 

 mindcrime Says:  This beautiful church in baroque/neogothic style was high on my list but the front door was locked and couldn’t see the interior :( At least we enjoyed the impressive façade that was designed in 1904 by Joan Rubio (the catalane architect that designed the Banco de Soller... 

 mindcrime Says:  Placa Constitucio (pic 1) is the central square of Soller. All visitors will come here sooner or later because its full of street cafes where you can relax watching the old trams passing by.The square is nice on its own with a fountain and numerous plane trees but we also... 

 russian_yaz Says:  All around Soller there are mountains and each of them is full till the top of olive trees. The locals have developed a smart system of terraces to take advantage of all the land. Mallorca is an small island so land is a not cheap resource. I went with two friends up to one... 

 russian_yaz Says:  Around 4 km from Soller U'll find the Soller port. A beatifull 3km beach with a long boulevard where to enjoy the sun and the sea air. If U go to the left trough the road up to the hill U'll find on the top the lighthouse. Here I found the best spot where to rest and enjoy a... 

 russian_yaz Says:  If U think U´ve enough stamina, try a walk or a cicling to the top of the higher mountain on Mallorca, The Puig Major. With 1455 meters high, it watches the nearby Soller, it´s valley and port. Like a guardian that challenge time. 

 flyfreak Says:  The food takes a bit longer to be prepared, but for a good reason: it is being prepared freshly and only with the best ingredients. Once you enjoy your meal you will love it. The menue is not very big, but you will enjoy every plate.At lunch time the selection is a bit... 

 flyfreak Says:  The place looks fancy but if you go there, you will be end up paying way too much for bad service and nearly cold food. In the first place it took them 25 minutes to bring us a menue, then they needed an hour to bring the starters (the tomato soup was nearly cold and it was... 

 flyfreak Says:  A five-star rating from my side for the food and service in this restaurant! Professional service and phantastic food. For me it was the best restaurant where we ate in Sóller. We tried the Paella which is very nice, also the Sangria they make. We liked the starters... 

 mindcrime Says:  By train!The most romantic way is to take the old wooden train from plaza Espanya in Palma. The history railway was built back in 1911 with the money of orange and lemon trade, an activity that brought a lot of money those years. Those days was the main connection for the... 

 eleny Says:  A 1912 wooden train links Palma to Soller rathing thourgh citrus orchards and 13 tunnels.Fourteen tunnels later,switching back and forth across olive groves hills,they chug past citrus orchards into the town. 

 IanDavies Says:  If you want anything in the mid-afternoon, forget it. The whole of the island falls asleep for a few hours each afternoon and most things close down. On the plus-side, the shops re-open and tend to be open later than in other places. 

 russian_yaz Says:  If U prefer to walk a little bit more U can walk out Soller heading to the mountains. First U´ll see Biniaraix and then Fornalutx. This are two little towns nearby Soller. They still preserve their quietness and freshness of the mediterranean valleys, full of oranges and...
