Back From Barcelona – Mallorca – A Trip To Soller And Beyond

Soller is a little town where the mountains meet the sea, like so many other little towns and villages in Mallorca. Imagine a small destination nestled in the mountains that’s features rustic stone homes, a vintage tram that rolls through the center of town, stunning churches that soar into the sky, and quaint cafes where you can sit back, sip on a refreshing drink, and admire the endless views. Soller is that place. It’s a beautiful little town that has actually been recognized by the World Heritage and UNESCO Foundations. Soller offers a perfect combination of seaside beauty and historical heritage. Rumor has it that Soller is one of the prettiest little villages in Mallorca. I don’t know about that though, since we enjoyed every place we went and every place was beautiful.

This little town had not one, not two, but three lighthouses. Two of them are very old, and they are not functioning, but they are still interesting to see. You have to look very, very closely, but I do have all three lighthouses in this picture. They are all off in the distance though.

I like the fun sculpture of the fisherman too.

Soller is a cute, quaint little town that keeps close to its traditional roots and simple way of life.

Local artisans still make a lot of their everyday wares by hand, the old fashioned way. We actually purchased a couple of olive oil jars for gifts.

Colorful art is everywhere, just waiting to be seen and discovered. All you have to do is look for it.

We had to walk. There was no way Larry could fit into this tiny little car.

All the walking around and exploring in the heat of the day called for a little siesta break and a glass of delicious sangria. We sat in one of the local places that let us watch the world go by while we took a little break.

I love this creative menu display.

It was a gorgeous day and we saw and did so much. Have I mentioned that I just absolutely LOVE Spain? I love the colors, the food, the art, the music, and in a word, their passion for life. I think I must have been Spanish in another life. 🙂
