Port de Sóller sets the perfect scene, whether you’re into walking, cycling, or swimming. The arc-shaped bay has a relaxed atmosphere, with a harbor promenade featuring shops, restaurants, palm trees, and a rich maritime life.
The mix of sea and mountains brings a sense of calm. The somewhat remote location also adds to the idyll. Before the tunnel was established in the late 1990s, the area was difficult to access, meaning mass tourism in the 60s and 70s largely bypassed this part of the island.
