Selva Overview
City Summary
Sóller, a picturesque town in northwest Mallorca (Balearic Islands, Spain), is famed for its orange groves, historic wooden tram, and Modernist architecture. Nestled within the Tramuntana Mountains, it blends Mediterranean charm with rustic tranquility, making it an idyllic escape from urban bustle.
Must-See Attractions
Port de Sóller's crescent-shaped bay with its iconic lighthouse is postcard-perfect. Ride the 1912 wooden tram through citrus orchards to the town center for scenic views. Admire the Modernist façade of Sant Bartomeu Church and the art collection at Can Prunera Museum.
Food Guide
Savor orange marmalade, a local specialty made from Sóller's famed citrus. Seafood lovers must try lobster rice (Arròs amb Bogavante) paired with local wines from Tramuntana vineyards. The Saturday market's ensaïmada (spiral pastry) is a breakfast staple.

From Palma Airport, take Línia TIB 211 bus (1hr) or drive via Ma-11 tunnel road. The town is walkable; the tram to Port de Sóller takes 20 mins. Bike rentals are ideal for countryside exploration (note steep mountain roads). Taxis require advance HopeGoo (+34 971 630 303).
