Sóller Railway

About

The Sóller Railway is a historic train line in Mallorca, connecting Palma de Mallorca to the picturesque town of Sóller. Opened in 1912, it was initially used to transport goods like olives and oranges from Sóller's fertile basin to the capital. The railway features wooden carriages, offering a nostalgic travel experience. The journey passes through the Serra de Tramuntana mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage site, with scenic views of ancient olive groves and orange orchards. The train traverses 13 tunnels and notable landmarks like the Cinc-Ponts viaduct. It was initially powered by steam locomotives, later electrified in 1929. Today, it is a popular tourist attraction, providing a unique blend of history and natural beauty. Visitors can continue their journey from Sóller to Port de Sóller via a historic tram, exploring the charming port and its surroundings. The railway's preservation is a testament to its enduring appeal and historical significance in Mallorca.
