In addition to various cultural highlights that your estate agency Engel & Völkers Mallorca would like to present in this article, an exclusive range of high-quality houses and rustic houses is awaiting to be discovered by you.

The oldest path from the island to Sóller leads along a steep serpentine route. From these winding streets, the town lies in the shadow of the Tramuntana mountains, with the impressive parish church of Sant Bartomeu in its center and the surrounding houses and villas, and can be seen from afar. When the famous rail connection to Palma was established in 1912, not only did that bring along the first practicable transport connection, but also one of Sóller's most famous sights: the wooden railway "Roter Blitz" - formerly a central means of transport for the inhabitants and merchants of Sóller, it's a popular local attraction today , which is still operated in the original condition. Some of the town's impressive houses and townhouses date back to that time, helping make Sóller, inspired by the prosperity of citrus growing, the center of Catalan Modernism. Thanks to relatively strict building regulations, many of these properties still adorn the cityscape that gives Sóller a unique historic atmosphere in Mallorca. Adding to this historic, almost nostalgic flair is the lively weekly market, held on Saturdays in the central square of Sóller, Plaza Constitución, which is very popular for shopping with its inhabitants.

In addition, the Balearic Museum of Natural Sciences and the Botanical Garden of Sóller offer a day trip in the immediate vicinity of your house or villa. Convince yourself of the culinary quality of Sóller: The Hotel Salvia combines culinary and architectural culture, since it is housed in one of the old houses of the town and its guests in the hotel restaurant with its own delicacies a la carte. Sóller's local specialties include various citrus products such as freshly squeezed orange juice, the orange liqueur Angel d'Or, and delicious ice cream, which you can sample at the ice cream parlor Sa Fábrica de Gelats.
