I went to Soller last summer and was enchanted by it. Took the wooden train from Palma which was lovely, then had a fresh squeezed orange juice at the station. Had lunch at Ca'n Gata and had a Soller spritz. Also bought a bottle of Eau De Soller, which is a beautiful fresh lemony scent. It's such a magical town, I adored it. I preferred the old town, to the port, but both were lovely ❤

[@TheVigilant109]

Great tips Alex. This video has brightened my day. Love Soller and Port de Soller. Getting to Valldemossa by bus is a great idea as it was very busy and very difficult to park a car in last year. Many thanks, John

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Absolutely John, it is the best way to travel around the villages... it can be very stressful to take the car during Summer. And thanks for the lovely comment!

[@dianeleahy3345]

Great information. I’ve done the train to Soller, but next time I will try the bus especially if it goes around the villages. Also I prefer old town side streets rather than the port I find it much more interesting, well everybody’s different I guess. Thanks Alex.

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Great idea Diane - there does seem to be a tourist trail, but it's nice to get off it sometimes!

[@LoremIpsum1970]

Alex, stop telling everyone 🤣❤ Those train seats are uncomfortable...well, they were for me! Yes, please can you do the bus routes, tickets, etc. especially where it stops near Soller Town.

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Great idea, Sounds like a good idea, and yes, they could do with getting some comfy cushions onboard!

[@sue1016]

We got the bus from valldemossa to port de soller, what a wonderful journey via Deia. Some spectacular views and very skilled bus driver. Took the tram to soller but couldn't get the train back to palma as it was fully booked so agree you should ideally book in advance

[@marvinbush9330]

I'm gonna love watching your videos from Mallorca as I spent some of my happiest Navy days there. Watching these videos really bring back the memories.

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Thanks Marvin so much for watching 🤗

[@dansouth2088]

My top tip: Go sooner rather than later if you can. I was in Mallorca in late March last year and it was fantastic. Great weather and fewer fellow tourists. Late at night you can have a place like Soller to yourself. Enjoy!!

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

100% agree Dan! This is a really lovely time of year in my opinion too!

[@GordonSmith-ll3ly]

Loved Soller - stayed in the Hotel Salvia and it was amazing. My wife and I walked down to the Port a few times for lunch in the restaurants recommended by the owners of the Salvia and it did not disappoint.

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Oh I don't know that hotel! But yes, there are so many amazing restaurants in the area!

[@londonmore]

Spiffing video alex🎉

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Hahaha, I love the word spiffing !!!!

[@desmondpage8690]

@@MallorcaUnderTheSun sadly not used enough these days hey Alex

[@Liberator74]

We went to Port of Soller by train & tram March 2024. Not crowded and the views were stunning. Make sure you visit the port.

[@AlVlogs1603]

As usual great info Alex are you glad to be back in the sun ?

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Haha, Alan, it felt like we'd returned back to the Caribbean compared to where we had left! I'm not complaining!

[@RICKYPORAHI]

Alex ! Saludos desde Argentina 🤙

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Ricky!!!!!! Hola!!!!

[@isabellavergara2804]

Hi Alex! Great video! Any recommendations for parking in Soller? I’m visiting Mallorca in 2 weeks 🤗

[@chris3341]

My tip is either get the earliest train or hire a car. When I went people were pushing to get back on because people waited for the last train back and there was double the train capacity.

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Oh goodness, Soller has become too popular for it's own good. Even driving is a nightmare with the parking.
