"The charming resort of Puerto de Soller is not just a joy to arrive in, it is a pleasure to travel to. A delightful old train makes the journey north from Palma through the Sierra de Tramuntana mountains, giving glorious views of the beautiful landscape. The resort itself curves around a natural harbour that is one of the few safe havens for sailors needing refuge on the north coast. Peaceful and relaxing, it is popular with those seeking a quiet, traditional place to stay, as well as those who come for the walking trips in the spectacular countryside."
Set on a perfectly rounded bay, Puerto de Soller nestles at the foot of the Sierra de Tramontana hills, surrounded by groves of lemon and orange trees. Once a bustling textile centre it is now an extremely agreeable resort with a lot of traditional charm.
