Train, Tram and Boat Tours

Unique landscapes, nature in its purest form and dreamy views merge into this tour that combines sea and land with all the character of the island. In the beautiful cove of Sa Calobra, you will start a boat ride along the impressive coast of the Sierra de Tramuntana to the famous Port of Sóller, where we will take the legendary wooden tram to the center of Sóller. The soft rattle of the tram will take us back in time, surrounded by the beautiful mountains that surround the Sóller Valley. We will get off at the lively Plaza de Sóller, where we can admire the mythical modernist buildings that have been the soul of this small city for hundreds of years.

Description of the experience

Itinerary

Palma - Sa Calobra - Puerto de Sóller - Sóller - Palma

We start our journey towards the Cuber and Gorg Blau reservoirs, which are located in the Almallutx Valley, in the Serra de Tramuntana. They were built in the early 1970s in order to create a water reserve for the Balearic capital, especially useful in times of drought common in the Mediterranean climate. The reservoirs are located at the foot of Mallorca's highest mountain, Puig Major (1445 m), restricted to people, as the summit is the site of a radar used for air control of the western Mediterranean.
Winding the narrow road of the Sierra de Tramuntana we will reach the road to Sa Calobra, located at more than 800m above sea level, famous for its famous "Nus de Sa Corbata".
At the end of the road we will reach the beach of Sa Calobra and the mouth of the Torrent de Pareis, which form an imposing whim of nature.
The Torrent de Pareis is the habitat of different species of animals and local vegetation that give it an incalculable environmental value. In Sa Calobra, we will embark on a cruise to the Port of Sóller, sailing along the north coast of the island and observing the maritime cornice of the Sierra de Tramuntana (listed as a World Heritage Site) that offers spectacular views of nature in its purest form.

Once on land, we can admire the Puerto de Sóller promenade, a historic enclave coveted in ancient times by corsairs and pirates due to Mallorca's location in the Mediterranean Sea. The Sóller Valley offers us mixed perfumes of orange blossom and citrus, idyllic landscapes and a rich maritime history that we will be able to know in this journey.
From the port itself, we will take the emblematic wooden streetcar to the town of Sóller, where we are welcomed by its bustling streets and famous modernist buildings such as the Church of San Bartolomé or the old Bank. Sóller, known as the cradle of modernism, keeps an extensive history among its streets and buildings. The old stately houses and palaces of colonial style tell us how in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the Mallorcan merchants made their fortune with the orange trade in France and how King Alfonso XIII proclaimed the town of Sóller in city and commercial and cultural center of the area.
From the same center, we will start the return route with a centenary train that preserves its original aesthetics and continues to travel the old tracks that cross the Sierra de Alfabia. Its wooden carriages, carefully cared for, take us back in time to 1912, when it was inaugurated. The train is characterized for being a narrow-gauge railroad, which is not very common nowadays, and for presenting a very varied old rolling stock, with a detailed character and handcrafted maintenance. Tunnels, steep mountains, lush forests and magnificent scenery make it an unforgettable journey.
