Sóller
One of the most laidback and enjoyable towns on Mallorca — its appeal is general flavour rather than any specific sight.
What Sóller is like
Portrait drawn from The Rough Guide.
Reached by train and vintage tram down to its port, in the Serra de Tramuntana.
Worth the trip
- Narrow, sloping lanes lined with 18th/19th-century stone houses once belonging to well-heeled fruit merchants
- Plaça Constitució, dominated by the neo-Gothic church of Sant Bartomeu and its huge rose window
- Base for the GR221 Dry Stone Route hiking trail through the Serra de Tramuntana
