Mallorca: Valldemossa & Soller Tour with Tram Ride & Pickup

Summary

Valldemossa mornings, Sóller oranges, and a slow tram to the sea

You’ll stroll Valldemossa’s peaceful lanes with time for local pastries, wind through UNESCO-listed mountains with your guide sharing stories, sip orange juice in Sóller’s sunlit square, and ride the vintage tram to Port de Sóller before heading back—leaving you with more than just photos.

What’s the experience like?

I still remember the first thing that hit me in Valldemossa — not the views (though, yeah, those stone houses are something), but this faint smell of baking bread mixed with mountain air. We’d just gotten off the bus, rubbing sleep from our eyes, and our guide Marta waved us toward a little bakery. “Try coca de patata,” she said. I probably looked confused — it’s this soft potato cake dusted with sugar. I ate mine sitting on a cold stone step while an old man watered his geraniums nearby. It was quiet except for birds and someone sweeping a doorway. You don’t always get that kind of peace in tourist spots, you know?

The drive through Serra de Tramuntana felt like a movie — hairpin turns, olive trees clinging to impossible slopes, Marta pointing out Deia in the distance (“That’s where poets come to hide,” she joked). In Sóller we had about 90 minutes; I wandered into a tiny art gallery by accident and then sat in Plaça Constitució with fresh orange juice (the valley is famous for its oranges). There was this moment when church bells rang and everyone just paused — even the waiter pouring my juice smiled at me like we were both in on some secret.

Taking the old wooden tram down to Port de Sóller was kind of silly fun — it rattles along slowly past lemon groves and back gardens where kids waved at us. The salt air hit as soon as we got close to the port. We had an hour there; I walked along the marina watching families eat ice cream and a fisherman mending nets. Didn’t expect to feel so… at home? Maybe it was just being outside all day or maybe Mallorca does that to people.
