The Experience

Before You Go

Wear supportive shoes

Streets are largely cobbled and uneven—closed-toe shoes with good soles make the 2-hour route far more comfortable.

Time your visit

Choose early morning or late afternoon in summer to avoid heat and busy tour groups at the main square.

Carry small change

Bring a few euros for café stops, local crafts, or optional museum entries your guide recommends.

Ask about accessibility

While many streets are accessible, confirm pickup/drop-off and specific route needs when you book—this tour offers wheelchair options.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Can Prunera Modernist Museum — a small but rich collection of local Modernisme architecture and interiors
  • Short walk to the Port de Sóller viewpoint for a quieter harbor panorama away from the main promenade

Wildlife

  • Balearic wall lizard
  • Common kestrel hovering over the valley

Conservation Note

The Tramuntana range is a protected landscape—respect local signage, stick to paved routes in town, and support businesses that practice low-impact tourism.

Sóller grew wealthy in the 19th century on citrus exports; returning emigrants funded notable Modernist buildings and the famous narrow-gauge train to Palma.
