A mountain range along Mallorca's north-west coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with terraced olive groves, stone villages such as Valldemossa and Deià, and dramatic coastal roads. Take the historic wooden train from Palma to Sóller, through the mountains, then the old tram down to the Port de Sóller.


The road down to Sa Calobra, with its hairpin bends, and the walk to the gorge of Torrent de Pareis, are spectacular. The GR221 'Dry Stone Route' is a long-distance walk across the range.
