The Wonders of Mallorca: High view down to Port de Sóller

As we head out North East towards the popular resort of Port de Pollença we look down on our home for a week here at Port de Sóller. We see again the two lighthouses but we miss the third lighthouse on this side. Anyway it gives those that do not know this spot a chance to enjoy it with me.

'Port de Soller was originally a small fishing village servicing the main town of Soller. Its isolated location at the foot of the Serra de Tramuntana meant that, before the Soller tunnel opened in the 1990s, it was a difficult place to get to. As a result, unlike many other seaside destinations on the island which were subject to some overdevelopment in the 70s and 80s, Port de Soller came through this era unscathed. The traditional charm remains firmly intact and has helped create a more sophisticated holiday destination. Surrounded by the Tramuntana mountains, Port de Soller is one of the few towns that can claim both magnificent mountain scenery and breathtaking sea views on the island.' www.seemallorca.com
