What makes Sóller special as a destination?

Sóller is nestled in a wide, fertile valley of the Serra de Tramuntana, surrounded by orange groves and citrus gardens, which has earned the town its nickname "Valley of Gold." The historic small town enchants German visitors with its authentically Mallorcan atmosphere: The modernist parish church of Sant Bartomeu dominates the central Plaça Constitució, where village life unfolds in the shady street cafés. The absolute highlight is the ride on the historic wooden train "Tren de Sóller" from 1912, which rattles on its one-hour route from Palma through 13 tunnels and over a spectacular viaduct to Sóller. From here, the equally nostalgic tram continues to the port of Port de Sóller. Sóller is the perfect starting point for hikes in the Tramuntana, bike tours through the mountainous landscape, and culinary discoveries of authentic Mallorcan cuisine.
