Landscapes from a train, vintage train ride to the valley of orange trees

The rattling of this magnificent wooden train makes quite a big impression on passengers that climb aboard the Sóller Train. It’s the same sound heard by the first travellers back in 1912 on its very first voyage. 

Functioning ever since, still with the original wagon design and materials, the train leaves every day from the centre of Palma, from the charming station designed by Gaspar Bennàssar. The 55 minutes separating you from the valley of the orange trees will seem far too short as you are captivated by the beauty of the landscape and the scent of orange blossom wafting through the window: the Sierra de Tramuntana in all its glory. 

The train terminates at one of the most beautiful villages of the island, Sóller, where you will see fine examples of the modernist architecture of the island. This is a beautiful trip to be enjoyed from the moment you board the train. We recommend you do it on Saturday, as this is when the market is held.
