Overview

On this self-guided tour of Soller, you'll discover quirky facts and folklore about the jewel in Mallorca’s crown. Experience the magic of GPS playback on this immersive stroll through Soller.

The golden valley of Soller is famed for its oranges and lemons, craggy Tramuntana mountain range, and its dreamy horseshoe bay. And yet, there’s so much more to the UNESCO heritage town of Soller, the jewel in Mallorca’s crown.

On this walking tour around the magical mountain town, you’ll take in its main sites and lesser-known corners, and get to know its historical heroes, local producers and charismatic community. You’ll make your way to Soller’s heart, where you’ll see the grand modernist Iglesia de Sant Bartomeu de Sóller (Sant Bartomeu Church), Banco Santander (the town’s ornate Art Deco bank), and Ajuntament de Sóller. From there, you’ll stroll along the quaint shopping street.

Along with curious facts and some folklore, you’ll learn about the terrible plague of 1865.
