Mallorca Grand Tour by land & sea: Valldemossa, Soller & Calobra

A fantastic jouney by land and sea offering dreamy views and the most complete formula to get to explore some of the most emblematic corners of the island in one sole day. In the morning, you will wander around Valldemossa before the village gets crowded, when we will be restarting our trip through the coastal roads of the Tramuntana towards Sóller. Sóller, known as the capital of the Tramuntana, counts with a vibrant old town with stunning modernist architecture, a great selection of artisan shops, tapas bars, traditional bakeries, and truly delicious orange juice squeezed from local oranges. In the afternoon, you will get on the centenary tram that connects Sóller with the coastal village of Port of Sóller, where you will embark on a boat towards the imposing Sa Calobra. You will be ending your trip on a high note as we travel back to Palma through the roads of Calobra, a wonder of civil engineering and offering some the most stirring sea and mountain views.

   Valldemossa

   1 hour

   The small village of Valldemossa, hidden among the green mountains of the Serra de Tramuntana, has achieved a miracle: to maintain its essence untouched by the passage of time despite being only 17 kilometers from Palma, the capital. To immerse oneself in this valley surrounded by ancient olive trees, holm oaks and almond trees, to lose oneself in its steep cobbled streets, adorned with flowerpots, is to return to an indeterminate past that has enchanted numerous artists throughout history. Famous is the story of the winter spent here by the Polish composer Frédéric Chopin and his wife, the French writer George Sand, but there have been many other writers, painters and eccentric aristocrats who have been attracted by the magnetism of the place.

   The town of Soller is considered one of the most beautiful in Spain. It is enough to walk through its historic center to feel immediately transported to other times. Important people such as the Archduke Luis Salvador assured that it had the most beautiful square of the island. Walking through the narrow streets of the town you will feel the history of one of the most flourishing Mallorcan towns of the past. Its curious name comes from the Arabic 'suliar', which means golden bowl, a very accurate name to describe the fertile valley of orange trees that surrounds it. In the architecture of Soller you can perceive the hand of Joan Rubió i Bellver, a well-known disciple of Gaudí, whose most relevant works in this place are the neo-Gothic church of San Bartomeu and the modernist bank of Soller.
