| Sóller Train |
|
The Sóller Train runs from the capital Palma de Mallorca (Majorca) and is used by over a million people every year. The journey takes around an hour and goes across Mallorca through 13 mountain tunnels to Soller, giving you the chance to fully appreciate the real beauty of Mallorca.
Basically made of wood, the *Soller train dates back to 1912 and since then has been connecting this small village with the main capital of the island. Now, is mostly used by tourist visiting Soller, as many locals prefer to take their own cars and go trough the tunnel to save some time (in fact, it takes about a half as long, so they save on time although not on enjoyment). The train is powered by an electric locomotive and is the only one of its type that is still in use today. The train station at Palma de Mallorca can be found just next to the Plaza de España, right in the centre of Palma, in the corner of the Eusebio Estada street with the main Avenidas, about one block from the central bus station. There is a car park at the back of the train station.Tickets can be bought at the station in Palma or any of the stations that it stops at on the way. http://www.sollernet.com/trendesoller/en2.html Back |
