The town of Sóller in the northwest of Mallorca became wealthy because of the valley’s abundant citrus groves. In the 19th century, when the area was isolated from the rest of Mallorca by mountains, the oranges were shipped to France from the nearby west coast Port de Sóller (or Puerto de Sóller). Many locals went to work in France and returned – their fortunes duly made – to build some of the handsome Modernista properties that grace this town today.

The old narrow-gauge wooden train, linking Sóller with Palma’s Plaza de España, opened in 1912 to transport fruit to Palma. The 28 km railway journey – through 13 tunnels and breathtaking scenery – has become one of the island’s best-loved tourist experiences.

Playa de Formentor is a beautiful, Blue-Flag beach located along the Formentor Peninsula in the northeastern tip of the island, about 10 kilometres from Port de Pollença.

There is not a lot of sand on this beach, despite its length, it is quite narrow so it can get quite crowded. The water is shallow and there are rarely waves here, which is nice for small children

Based in the centre of the island, it is difficult to hear mention of the small town of Binissalem without also hearing the word ‘wine’. With its ancient history, charming architecture and traditional dining, there is much more to see and do than just admire the vineyards. Binissalem was one of the original sites where wine was cultivated and the quality of Mallorcan wines was so renowned it was even mentioned by famed philosopher and scientist ‘Pliny the Elder’. Wine production then survived the occupation of the more temperate Moors, but was later wiped out by a plague of the Phylloxera virus in the 19th century.

Binissalem also won a reputation for producing fine woodwork and stonework and there are still active quarries near the town today. Wine production began again in the late 19th century and Binissalem was the first area to be awarded a DO (Denominacion de Origen) in 1991. Along with neighbouring towns such as Santa Maria, Santa Eugenia and Alaro, Binissalem is today the focal point for the revival of fine Mallorcan wine production.

The caves contain a large underground lake, Lake Martel, considered one of the largest underground lakes in the world.

Olive cultivation was key to Deià’s prosperity during periods of Islamic and Roman occupation, in addition to the cultivation of citrus fruits, fishing and farming. Now, the village and its inhabitants have added art, crafts and a relaxed style of tourism to the agricultural economy.
