Plaça Constitució, Sóller Map of Sóller

The Sóller valley lies in the centre of the "Serra de Tramuntana", just a half an hour from Palma. With close to 15,000 inhabitants, it is the largest town in the Northwestern part of Mallorca. Sóller conserves its traditional character, which is shared with it's dynamic economy that makes this quiet but lively town a great place to live. Historically connected by boat, mainly with France, but also with the Caribbean, Sóller developed an important agricultural and textile industry during the 19th century. The orange, then exported to all Europe, is one of the most important local symbols, together with the train that runs between Sóller and Palma.

Sóller is also known for it's architecture. The rustic houses in their pure mallorcan style fill the valley with jewels of the Modernist era, the best example of which is the façade of the parish church of Sant Bartomeu. Isolated for centuries because of it's geography, Sóller has developed an important commercial centre, composed of numerous shops that offer quality products. You’ll also find a complete and varied range of restaurants and bars.

Sóller's cultural scene is rich and lively. The town celebrates it's patron saint "fiestas" (late August) with intensity. There is also an annual reenactment of the battles between the Moors and the Christians (May) which has become emblematic of the island’s fairs. There are also several art galleries, museums, and concerts of classical and modern music scheduled throughout the year. Visitors can enjoy a stay in one of several rural and urban quality hotels, and rediscover themselves in the beautiful mountain landscapes. In Sóller every experience is memorable.
