Soller
Soller, set in a lush valley of orange groves between the
mountains and the sea, half way along the northwest coast of
the island, is a popular day-tripper destination because it can be
reached on a vintage train ride from Palma. The town is awash with
tempting pastry shops, ice-cream parlours and tapas bars in its
quaint squares, but there is more to do than just eat and drink.
There are some good examples of modernist architecture, like the
church of Saint Bartomeu with its 1912 arched tower above a rose
window, and needle-like spires. There are also two museums: the
Natural Science Museum displaying fossils and the Museu Municipal
filled with antiques.
