Sóller, Valley of Oranges 🍊🍊🍊

#mediterranean If you’re planning a trip to Mallorca, make sure to spend some time in the beautiful authentic town of Soller. Situated near the northwest coast of Mallorca, the town sits in a lush valley full of orange trees and is surrounded by the UNESCO-listed Tramuntana mountains. 🍊 The town consists of two parts – Soller and Port de Soller (also known as Puerto de Soller). The former is a more authentic town with old-world charm and lies about 3 km inland from the coast. The latter is a seaside resort town that extends along the shore of a beautiful sheltered bay and features a long sandy beach. ⛱️ Best things to do in Soller: 📌Explore the old town of Soller One of my favorite things to do in Soller was to simply wander around the narrow alleyways of the old town and take in its beauty. Its winding cobbled streets are lined with tapas bars, bakeries and quaint buildings in Art Nouveau architectural style. On the bustling Plaça de la Constitució, which is Soller’s main square, you can find a variety of cafes and restaurants as well as the impressive Sant Bartomeu Church, the town’s most famous landmark. 📌Taste the Soller oranges 🍊 You can’t visit Soller and not taste its famous sweet and juicy oranges! Enjoy a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, indulge in some orange ice cream or orange jam or try the local orange liquor called Angel d’Or. 📌Take the vintage tram to Port de Sóller 🚋 One of the most popular things to do in Soller is to ride its old wooden tram (Tranvía de Sóller) to the neighboring town of Port de Soller. Inaugurated in 1913, the heritage tramway takes you on a scenic 15-minute journey past orange groves, gardens and mountainous landscapes before arriving at the beautiful bay of Port de Soller. 📌Spend a day at Port de Soller Beach The beautiful seaside town of Port de Soller is just 5 km from Soller and has a palm-tree-lined sandy beach with shimmering turquoise water. It’s an ideal place to spend a relaxing day by the sea and cool off in the summer heat. 📌Sa Calobra boat trip 🛥️ A boat trip to Sa Calobra village and Torrent de Pareis beach is another one of the must-do activities when visiting Sóller. 📌Explore the hiking trails in Sóller 🐾 Another one of the best things to do in Soller is to go hiking. In fact, this little town is considered the hiking capital of Mallorca. #sollermallorca #spain #travel #orange #soller
