Today we want to go to Sóller and Port de Sóller. And the best way to get there is by the historic Tren de Sóller, called the Red Lightning by tourists and the Orange Express by locals. The train line was built over 100 years ago and runs 27 kilometres from Palma de Mallorca on a picturesque route across the Serra de Tramuntana. The train passes through 13 tunnels on the route - which it covers at a leisurely crawl at a maximum speed of 30km/h. The longest of these tunnels is almost 3km long. The longest of these tunnels is almost 3 kilometres long. After arriving in Sóller, we have a bite to eat before continuing by tram to Port de Sóller. The fact that this tram line exists at all is due to a Spanish law: subsidies are only granted for railway lines over 30 kilometres long. The route of the Tren de Sóller from Palma to Sóller is 27 kilometres too short for this. So it was extended by the tramway to Port de Sóller to reach the required length.
In Port de Sóller we stroll leisurely through the harbour, enjoy an orange ice cream at Fet a Sóller (a must!). The ice cream is made from oranges from the Sóller valley and is incredibly delicious!) and enjoy the view over the bay of Port de Sóller, which forms a huge, natural harbour.
We return to Sóller by tram, of course, where we visit the church "Sant Bartomeu de Sóller" and take a short tour of the town before returning to Palma by red lightning.
