Update 09/02/23. It is a very nice excursion that will take you from the capital Palma de Mallorca to Sóller through the Sierra de Tramuntana.
Sóller is a town located on the northwest coast of Mallorca, in the Sierra de Tramuntana. It is located in a beautiful valley, surrounded by the highest mountains of the island that make it one of the most unique towns in Mallorca. Sóller also has a beautiful natural harbor, the only coastal refuge in the entire Sierra.
The Soller train station is located in the center of Palma in the vicinity of Plaza España and next to the Intermodal Station. It is very easy to get from anywhere on the island, there are many train and bus lines that connect to this station.

The journey is made on the original train that dates back to 1912. You will enjoy the spectacular landscape of the Sierra de Tramuntana, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The route from Palma de Mallorca to Soller is 27.3 kilometers.
Originally the train was built to transport fruit from Soller to the commercial port of Palma. It also served for decades to communicate the population of Soller with the rest of the island. Today, most of its users are visitors and tourists.

The train runs through the natural barrier that is the Sierra de Alfabia. It passes through several bridges, through 13 tunnels and a viaduct with 5 arches.
