Riding From Palma To Sóller On The 110-Year-Old Vintage Train (The 'Ferrocarril') | Mallorca, Spain

The 110-year-old 'Ferrocarril de Sollér' is one of Spain's most unique and lovely old trains, which carries passengers from Mallorca's capital, Palma de Mallorca, up to the popular town of Sóller, deep in a valley surrounded by citrus groves.
This stunning old vintage train is, without doubt, the most enjoyable way to reach Sóller from Palma. Sure, the highway and tunnel are faster, but who's in a rush in Mallorca?! Just cough up the 18 Euros required to travel one way, grab yourself a seat (or stand between carriages as I like to do), and enjoy chugging along through the beautiful Mallorca countryside with the warm breeze in your hair.
Traveling from Palma de Mallorca to Sóller on the vintage train (also known as the 'Ferrocarril de Sollér') takes around an hour (and a glorious one at that), and makes a variety of stops to pick up passengers along the way. There is one specific stop, however, to grab a photo of Sóller Town from above, against a stunning Tramuntana Mountain backdrop. After you've climbed back aboard the old wooden vintage train, it will snake down into Sóller, where you can jump off and continue your adventure... either by looking around charming Sóller Town, or hopping straight onto one of the trams that ferries passengers between town and the picturesque Port de Sóller, about 15 minutes away by rail (one hour on foot).

...otherwise, to travel one way from Palma to Sóller, you'll need to purchase your ticket at the station in Palma. The train does fill up, so try to grab your tickets a decent amount of time in advance of travel (I took the 10:10am train, and bought my tickets at 9am with no problem).
To buy a ticket for the tram between Sóller and the port, just purchase it on board the tram (they depart ever 30 minutes, all day, and at the time of publishing this video it was 7 Euros).
