There are many things to do in Soller, Majorca – Beach bumming, hiking, and simply relaxing should take most of your time.

Everybody was talking about Sóller. I simply had to see for myself. It would be another long journey by bus.

(This would have been easier to rent a car, but as I haven’t driven for nearly a year, I wasn’t feeling super confident about this.) Two hours and a bit later,  I arrived in Puerto de Sóller. You know, the kind of scenery I fall for. Colorful, quiet, and with a pretty good ocean soundtrack.

Soller - Mallorca

I was pleased. In fact, I tried to put my GoPro back in my bag at least 10 times. It only lasted 5 seconds every single time. Yes; it was photographer heaven (not that I could call myself a professional photographer)! Picturesque, rustic, and peaceful are the three words I’d use to describe the views I got from Sóller.

I have no idea how this area would look during peak season, but during the winter, I didn’t feel overwhelmed by crowds. In fact, there were only a handful of us.

I hope these pictures will convince you to visit Sóller and to go a bit further.

Personally, I haven’t spent one minute in Sóller town. It was a bit too touristy for me. Instead, I chose to walk in direction of the prettiest mountains around.

I ended up walking in a fairy-tale of the countryside. (Because, yes; it does exist.)

The Sea

As long as I’m surrounded by gorgeous surroundings, I’ll be happy. Mountains make me happy. So does the sea. When I get both at the same moment, I can’t stay calm!

This happened in Sóller.

The colorful streets

If you follow me on Instagram, you know how much I love colors.  If I can get a blue sky and colorful scenes, then, it doesn’t get any better!

Getting lost around Sóller was super entertaining.  There are many cats around and you can understand why; they simply love playing around with a view.

Then, you can even go further up to get a better view. There’s also a spot where you can admire the cliffs and the infinite sea.

The vintage tram

There’s a cool vintage tram that links the port and the town.  Even though it’s not that cheap, it will provide you with amazing views.

The countryside

I spent roughly two hours wandering around the countryside of Sóller. Yes, I might have been lost at some point but it was more than worth it.

I didn’t expect to see that many shades of greens around the island. (Fair enough, they had an unusual quantity of rain lately.)

Oranges and lemons. Gorgeous backdrop. It can’t go wrong.

Fun things to do in Soller

One more time, I  fell in love with a place. This time it was with Sóller.

Soller is definitely one of the best places to stay in Majorca.

Thanks to Ferrer Hotels for hosting me during my short holidays in Majorca. They are located in Alcudia, another place that should go on your Majorca itinerary.
