Soller Has It All

Filed in archive Hidden Gems on July 2, 2007

Lying in a valley on the Spanish island of Mallorca, Soller is a scenic and quiet place to enjoy the island's famously laid-back atmosphere. The Green Mountains and expansive olive groves make Soller seem like a nature lover's dream vacation spot.

The town of Soller is only about thirty minutes from Mallorca's main airport by road. Though the town's main industry is tourism, olive and citrus fruit farming are still practiced. A stroll around Soller will also reveal the old, but well-kept early 20th century buildings

The surrounding hills have hiking and bicycling trails. A trek up the mountain will offer some nice views of the lush valley below.

Going to Soller does not mean that travelers have to forgo the sun and sand that are signatures of Mallorca. The beach is a mere three kilometers away. The proximity to both mountains and the sea make Soller an ideal spot to enjoy all Mallorca has to offer.
