We knew that we wanted to see the town of Soller on the north coast, but unfortunately north winds were coming that would not make the port a good anchorage (it’s small to begin with and does not have good holding). We opted to stay in Santa Ponsa, and once again rely on the bus to Palma. This time, though, we switched to a charming old wooden train that takes you right to the village of Soller.
We took the tram down into the port of Soller first. It’s pretty, but not much more than a series of restaurants, shops, and hotels in a quaint little waterfront. We did splurge and have an amazing lunch by the water, though. I had no idea that the islands were famous for their salt, as we got to sample three varieties with our lunch.
After lunch we took the tram back up to the village, which was really charming. We wandered around, checked out the shops, had a drink or two, and then eventually caught the train back.
