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.
