THE REGION
The remote Port de Sóller in northwest Mallorca is a picturesque, small coastal village which has become well known and popular, particularly due to its historic tram, large bay with a protected harbour and scenic surroundings.
Port de Sóller’s setting alone is a sight in itself: surrounded by the imposing peaks of the Tramuntana mountain range, the huge protected bay with its anchored boats rocking gently to and fro, the vast expanse of the sea in front and sprawling orange groves in the distance.

In fact, this aquarium provides the only 360° whale-watching experience in the whole of Europe, making it a truly unmissable attraction.

Take your time during this experience, ensuring that you examine each alluring piece in full detail. You will also have the privilege of observing over 50 ceramics, all of which were created by Picasso from 1948 to 1971.
