While on your Mallorca holiday visit Soller a beautiful city located on north-west coast of Mallorca, which is the biggest of the Balearic Islands of Spain and is situated in the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. The city is almost 3km away from the main port, Port de Soller, in a huge, concave valley that as well contains the village of Fornalutx and the tiny settlements of Biniaraix and Binibassi with a collective population of almost 13,500.

A well-known tramway, the Orange Express links Soller to this port. Soller is as well connected by the famous railway, the Ferrocarril de Soller, a 27.3km rail route having 13 tunnels, as well as by road, the Andratx-Pollenca highway that runs through the valley, to the capital Palma. The Ferrocarril de Soller was completed in 1912. The current local economy mostly depends on tourism industry and overseas residents, harmonizing to the farming economy mostly depending upon citrus and olive groves.

The focal point of the city is the Placa Constitucio where you will come across several cafes. The tram goes through the Placa. The main station has been renovated to integrate a museum of Picasso and Joan Miro. On the eastern side of the Placa you will find cathedral of Sant Bartomeu which is between the ajuntament, which is actually the town hall and the Banco de Soller, which is an amazing building built in 1912 with significant a ironwork. In 1889 with the help of funds of migrants who came back to Soller rich, the bank’s organization was established.

In contrast, the cathedral can visibly be seen showing up from the top of the city from other parts of the Vall de Soller which is actually the neighboring valley. The church building dates back from some time during thirteenth century. The present inner construction is at present mostly ornate. The campanar or the belltower assimilates with its neo-gothic design and the amazing frontage is again a Joan Rubio creation. The city is intersected by a river with several bridges and has a sheltered marketplace. Soller is as well famous for the homes constructed in the early twentieth century by migrants who came back prosperous to the city, predominantly those on the Gran Via.

The famous botanical park Jardi is on the outer reaches of the city and is full of local plants and plants from other Balearics and the Mediterranean islands. Regardless of its position in close proximity to the highway the park is quite peaceful and silent. Every year in July Soller hosts a 7-day long traditional festival with much fanfare.
