Sóller is famous for its orange groves and Art Nouveau architecture. In the 19th century, the town flourished thanks to orange exports, and the proceeds were invested in the construction of luxurious villas that remain to this day. Oranges continue to hold a special place in this town: Sóller produces the best orange ice cream and other desserts in Spain.

Attractions in Sóller
A tour of this town usually begins in Plaza de la Constitución, where the main attractions are located. Here you can see the Church of San Bartolomeu, built in the 13th century. In the 17th century, it was decorated with Baroque elements, and three centuries later, Antoni Gaudí’s student, Joan Rubio Bellver, added an extravagant Art Nouveau façade.

Immediately next to the church is the 19th-century Bank of Sóller building, also designed by Joan Rubio Bellver. This building is distinguished by its textured white stone walls and elegant wrought-iron window grilles.

Just a 5-minute walk from Plaza de la Constitución is Plaza de España, home to the Ferrocarril de Sóller train station. The “Orange Express” trams depart from here, leading to the port.

The station building itself was built in the early 17th century for military purposes, and on weekends, a market is held in the square next to it, where you can buy souvenirs and Spanish delicacies, and enjoy street music.

Port de Sóller is the city’s most popular promenade, stretching for about 3 km and lined with restaurants and souvenir shops. Along the streets of Cristofor Colom and Gran Vía, located in the city center, you can see Art Nouveau mansions and estates built during Sóller’s heyday in the early 20th century.
