Majorca
Majorca is beautifully varied. The west coast with its Tramuntana mountain range is one of the most impressive regions. The scenery and culture here are more diverse than elsewhere on the island. The mountains and hills, criss-crossed with stone walls and olive trees, invite you to discover Nature at its best. On the coast the sheer cliffs are interrupted by small coves and beaches providing many unique spots for swimming.
Sóller’s orange groves, its art-nouveau buildings, its tree-bordered main plaza, the 100 year-old tram and the numerous folk fiestas offer many possibilities for experiencing the culture and getting to know the people of this small mountain town. From the harbour of Port de Sóller you can explore numerous tourist attractions by boat. And if you wish to discover the vibrant life of a Mediterranean metropolis, the capital Palma is only a 20 minute drive from Sóller.
