There is a pedestrianized promenade with cafes, restaurants and shops, a mixture of old-world tradition and some contemporary spots too.  The harbour has an interesting history and nowadays you can spot luxury yachts, pleasure cruisers as well as fishing boats.  Here you can also pick up a boat trip to the mountainous coastline of Sa Calobra where it’s a short walk to the stunning Torrent de Pareis. You can also charter a yacht to explore the nearby hidden coves of this dramatic coastline.
The charming town of Soller is just 5km away, by tram or car, and here you will find characterful café-bars, restaurants and all the amenities you should need. Soller sits in the heart of the ‘valley of oranges’ which brought the otherwise isolated town great wealth in the nineteenth century as they exported them to France.  Many locals went over to work and came back with their fortunes to build many of the Modernista architecture that can be visited today.
In the early twentieth century the narrow-gauge wooden railway train opened to transport fruit from Soller to Palma. It is now open to tourists and the 30km journey through orange groves, mountain tunnels and beautiful scenery is the perfect way to visit the magnificent city of Palma on a day trip.
