Sóller train station, Historic railway station in Sóller, Spain
Sóller train station is a railway facility in Mallorca that evolved from a fortified house dating to 1606 and displays traditional Mallorcan architecture with brown brick construction. Large trees surround the grounds, giving the place shade and a rustic character.
The railway connection was completed in 1911 and was funded by profits from the orange and lemon trade, earning the line the name Orange Express. This connection became vital to the region's economic development during that period.
The building houses an art museum where visitors can see works by local and international artists, combining transport services with cultural exhibitions. You can view these pieces while experiencing how art has become part of the station's daily life.
The train journey from Palma to Sóller takes about one hour and offers views of mountains and countryside along the route. It makes sense to book early since trains often fill up during peak season.
The narrow-gauge railway passes through 13 tunnels and climbs elevation changes of about 200 meters (656 feet) on a winding mountain route. This engineering achievement from the early 1900s makes every journey an adventure through the mountains.
