The route
The Sóller train from Palma
This is the classic car-free Sunday from Palma: an hour on a wooden train through the sierra, a Modernist museum in Sóller, the tram between orange groves down to the port and a long lunch facing the bay. In the afternoon, the Cap Gros lighthouse to watch the sun go down, and the way back by bus, which leaves every half hour.
The day, hour by hour
10:30 · Train in Palma. It leaves from the Ferrocarril de Sóller station, next to Plaza de España. It passes Bunyola, enters the sierra through thirteen tunnels and crosses the Cinc Ponts viaduct. You reach Sóller at 11:30. The combined train and tram return ticket costs €40; if you plan to return by bus, buy a single only, €23.
11:40 · Can Prunera. Five minutes from the station, on Carrer de sa Lluna. A Modernist house with its furniture and an art collection including Miró, Picasso and Klimt. Entry €11, free for under-12s. On Sundays it closes at 14:30.
13:00 · Tram to the port. It leaves from the square, opposite the station, on the hour. Twenty minutes between orchards and then along the shore.
13:45 · Lunch at Es Canyis. Get off at the first stops at the port, next to Repic beach. It has been open since 1954 and the kitchen does not close in the afternoon. Book the terrace.
16:30 · Cap Gros lighthouse. From the end of the beach you go up the lighthouse road: about 45 minutes of gentle walking to the Muleta refuge and the lighthouse, with the bay at your feet.
18:30 · Return on the 204. Go down to the promenade and take the TIB bus to Palma: 45 minutes to the Intermodal Station.
