About Soller
Soller sits in a valley of orange groves surrounded by the Tramuntana mountains, and it feels like a different island from the coast. The main square (Placa de la Constitucio) has Modernista buildings, the Banco de Soller facade designed by a Gaudi pupil, and cafes where you can sit for an hour watching the vintage electric tram trundle through. The vintage wooden train from Palma (EUR 25 return, 1 hour, through 13 tunnels and across a viaduct) is one of the best rail journeys in Spain. The tram from Soller to Port de Soller (EUR 8 return, 4 km, 20 minutes) runs to the harbour. The town has an ice cream culture that rivals anywhere in Italy, and the orange juice is pressed from the valley's own groves.
Insider Tips
The vintage train from Palma (EUR 25 return) departs at 10:10, 10:50, 12:15, 1:30, and 3:15 PM. Book online in summer. Sit on the left side for the best mountain views. The tram to Port de Soller (EUR 8 return) runs every 30 minutes. Fresh orange juice at any cafe on the main square is pressed from local groves. Saturday is market day.
