Location of Port de Sóller in Mallorca, Spain

Port de Sóller ( Castilian Puerto de Sóller , "Port of Sóller") is a coastal town on the Spanish Balearic island of Mallorca and part of the municipality of Sóller . It is located three kilometers northwest of Sóller in the Badia de Sóller ("Bay of Sóller") on the northwest coast of the island in the Comarca Serra de Tramuntana , which in 2011 was included in the list of World Heritage Sites by UNESCO . It is the only protected port between the ports of Andratx and Pollença and is about 170 km from mainland Spain near Barcelona .

During the late Middle Ages , olive oil was a key commodity. The shipping of citrus fruits from the Sóller valley to southern French ports, which began in the 17th century, ended in the late 19th century. During the Spanish Civil War , the port was used as a submarine base and military training center during the Second World War . This militarization, which led to the decline of goods-transporting shipping in the 1970s, was reversed in 2006 by the dismantling of military facilities. Due to the improved connection via the road tunnels, which were inaugurated in 1999 and 2007, the place was more touristically developed.

The port with over 20 hotels, 60 restaurants and bars as well as 465 boat berths is used in the high season as a bathing resort due to the two beaches Platja des Través and Platja den Repic and all year round as a starting point for numerous hikes in the surrounding Serra de Tramuntana.

geography

Location and description

Outline map of
Port de Sóller

Port de Sóller is 28 kilometers north of the center of Palma and three kilometers northwest of Sóller on the Badia de Sóller ( "bay of Sóller"), a natural harbor bay on the north west coast of Majorca, between Cap Gros and the small peninsula Racó de Santa Caterina with the headlands of Punta de sa Creu and es Bufador . To the northeast rises the Puig de Bàlitx ( 580  msnm ).

In addition to the road connection, the Sóller tram has existed since 1913 , which connects Port de Sóller and Sóller along the course of the old country road, but also runs through orange and lemon groves. The tram reaches the place east of the beach of en Repic , which is on the south side of the Badia de Sóller . Port de Sóller includes, in addition to the center es Port, the settlements of Bellavista and sa Talaia in the north, es Través south of the port and Can Joi in the southwest and sa Muleta in the west.

The port of Sóller, Port de Sóller, was created on the northeast side of the bay, protected from the northwest winds by the Racó de Santa Caterina peninsula . The center of the settlement with the parish church of Sant Ramon de Penyafort was built around the mouth of the torrent de sa Figuera . After the construction of the tram from Sóller, the settlement began to expand southwards, so that today the entire east and south side of the bay is built up to behind en Repic at the mouth of the Torrent Major .

Flora and fauna

The specific epithet of the Mallorca midwife toad refers to the location of the type specimen , the Cova de Muleta ("Muleta Cave") was discovered on the coast southwest of Port de Sóller. The bay and the mouth of the river, which flows into the sea here, attract little egrets, musk ducks, large flocks of herring gulls, gray geese and mallards. The different species of duck and geese populations suggest that most of the original birds have escaped from captivity. A population of black vultures and griffon vultures, which have disappeared in many places, lives almost unnoticed near Port de Sóller .

In addition to the species on land, there are also a number of animals and plants underwater. Sperm whales are occasionally seen off the coast of Port de Sóller . Likewise, sailing jellyfish repeatedly come into the bay. All in all, the water of the coast , which slopes steeply into the sea , is noticeably poor in plankton , which is why fish have no food. Only the deeper ocean layers are rich in plankton and provide a habitat for squid , tuna , sardines and bream .

climate

View from Alfàbia over Sóller to Port de Sóller, 2005

Port de Sóller is characterized by its proximity to the sea and the high mountains of the Tramuntana, which is noticeable in slightly higher rainfall than in Palma de Mallorca, night frosts in winter and extreme weather conditions and even snow. In Port de Sóller there is a Mediterranean climate , according to the Köppen / Geiger climate classification , this Csa climate is defined by an annual total precipitation between 400 and 1000 mm with humid winter months and arid summer months with a maximum precipitation below 40 mm and an annual mean temperature of over 14 ° C.

Due to its mountain ranges, the Sierra Tramuntana forms an orographic obstacle which, depending on the wind direction, can lead to incline rain and foehn effects. As a direct consequence of the Tramuntana Mountains, there are large variations in weather conditions between Palma, to which most weather forecasts refer, and Port de Sóller in the valley of Sóller. It can be sunny in the Sóller valley while it rains in Palma and vice versa. Rain clouds can get caught on either side of the Sierra de Tramuntana. The highest average temperatures are measured in July and August with 29 and 30 ° C, respectively, the coldest months are January and February with 6 ° C each. The annual precipitation is only 515 mm (for comparison: Palma 449 mm, Cologne 798 mm), of which the least precipitation falls in July (7 mm) and most in October (89 mm). The water temperature reaches its highest value in July and August at 25 ° C.

Geology and geomorphology

The Betic Cordillera material was deposited during the Mesozoic Ages . The olivine diabase and Teschenite resulting from the Serra de Tramuntana in the Triassic sediments are penetrated, include at least two different unsaturated alkaline series on. The two series are evenly distributed along the mountain range in different tectonic units and also occur in Port de Sóller. Similar to the Alps , the mountain ranges of Mallorca were raised between the Cretaceous and the Miocene . The geologically young archipelago of the Balearic Islands consists only of the tops of the highest mountains of a sagging mountain range that was previously an extension of the Sierra Nevada mountain range . During the Messinian salinity crisis, the Mediterranean almost completely dried up . When the connection to the Atlantic decreased again about 5.3 million years ago , the basin of the Mediterranean filled with water again, separating the Balearic Islands from the Iberian Peninsula. The coastal structures got their current shape during tectonic events 120,000 years ago.

history

Prehistoric and early historical epochs

The coast at the Badia de Sóller was already inhabited by people in the Copper Age , which in Mallorca is also known as the pre-ceramic period . Traces of this settlement between about 3000 and 2700 BC Were found in a cave at sa Muleta ( Cova de Muleta ) on the west side of the bay. In this prehistoric cave, remains of the cave goat ( Myotragus balearicus ) were discovered in 1908 . While some scientists mark the beginning of settlement on Mallorca at 5,200 BC. Estimated, current studies are more likely from 3000 BC. Chr. From. Due to its natural conditions, the Phoenicians and Greeks probably already used the Port de Sóller, but it was only under the Romans that a base can be found here.

middle Ages

Crossroads in the original district, 2020

During the time of Arab rule from 902 AD, the surrounding land was cultivated using irrigation systems and extensive olive groves were planted. The name Suliar ("Valley of Gold" or "Shell") for the area of ​​Sóller comes from this period . The port itself was called Puerto de Santa Catalina . After the conquest of Mallorca from the Arabs by King James I of Aragon in 1229, the land in the Sóller Valley was divided up among the king's followers. In 1284 the Capella de Santa Caterina del Port was mentioned in a historical source. In the Catalan world atlas that has been made in Mallorca in 1375, also Port de Sóller is recorded.

Historical sources suggest that as early as the time of the Crown of Aragon in the 13th century, olive oil, along with other agricultural products, was being exported from Mallorca to North Africa. In the middle of the 15th century, Mallorcan olive oil was a product that was regularly and continuously exported from the island, especially from the port of Sóller. In 1395 King John I of Aragon went ashore in the port of Sóller and in 1405 the governor Roger of Moncada embarked for Barcelona in Sóller. In the 14th century, the loading and unloading of ships took place near the mouth of the Muleta ( Noray ) river and was later moved to the other side of the port. Here is a rock that is traditionally seen as the landing stage for San Raimundo de Peñafort and on which some bollards were installed in 1443 to moor the ships. In 1399, Port de Sóller received the privilege of unloading ships in its port from King Martin I of Aragon. Much was imported in 1447 and 1470 as the island suffered a lack of grain. From 1451 armed Corsican ships were allowed to enter the port for trade.

Early modern age

Torre Picada (built in the early 17th century)

Since the late Middle Ages, Mallorca was often the target of North African corsairs who plundered the coastal settlements and sold their inhabitants into slavery . During one of these raids in 1542, the building of the small church of Santa Caterina d'Alexandria , built in 1280, was destroyed. The chapel was rebuilt from 1550. An attack on Port de Sóller, which is still known today, took place in early May 1561. A fleet of 22  galleys came from Algiers to Ibiza on May 10th to take in water. This enabled the Mallorcans to be notified that the attack would begin in Sóller. The captain general of Mallorca, Guillem de Rocafull, sent a notification to the captain of Sóller, Joan Angelats , as well as to the neighboring municipalities of Bunyola , Santa Maria and Alaró . In the early morning hours of May 11, 1561, the galleys called at Sóller Bay. The 1700-1800 strong troops of the Muslim privateer Uludsch Ali (Otxali / Occhiali), known as Kilic Ali Pascha after the naval battle of Lepanto (1571) , split up. One group occupied the vicinity of the port, another was able to penetrate inland unnoticed and take prey and take prisoners. Under the leadership of the captain of Sóller ( Capità de Sóller ), Joan Angelats, the pirates were defeated on May 11th by the Sollerics with the support of Bunyola, Santa Maria del Camí and Alaró near Port de Sóller and forced to flee. Despite getting caught between two fronts, the Mallorcans managed to recapture the port. The second group of pirates had to leave their prey behind and flee over the cliffs, killing all prisoners, especially women and children, whom they wanted to enslave. In memory of the victory, the es Firó festival is celebrated in Port de Sóller today in mid-May . This Moros y Cristianos particularly commemorates two sisters who killed the corsairs who invaded their home. The defense tower Torre Picada was built above the bay of Sóller only 53 years later . The tower, built between 1614 and 1623, was part of the island's coastal defense, which consists of 85 observation and defense towers.

Sóller was repeatedly approached by famous galleys, for example in 1632. In 1642 a galley with ammunition came from Genoa and in 1644 twelve galleys hid here that were hunted by the French. When a Catalan ship with fabrics landed in 1652, the plague brought it to Mallorca. In 1690 600 wheat baskets from Savoy were unloaded in the port . The shipping traffic was likely to have been of great importance, because an old port tower with oil lamps in its interior was turned into a lighthouse as early as 1667. Other port facilities of the administration date from the 17th century, but above all from the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century, these are hospitals , health or consignment buildings. In Port de Sóller, the hospital, completed in 1819, was located on today's road to the Cap Gros lighthouse.

From Port de Sóller it is known that there have been several shipyards since the 16th century . In the second half of the 19th century, they were dedicated to building sailing ships, the so-called pailebots , which were very much appreciated.

Orange exports (19th century)

Lemon and orange trees in Port de Sóller (2019)

After leaving Cette on March 1, 1824 , the French botanist Jacques Cambessèdes reached Port de Sóller by ship and undertook numerous excursions into the interior of the island, before continuing on to Ibiza on May 1 , which he reached on May 3. Cambessèdes explored the Balearic Islands in the spring of 1824 at the suggestion of Jacques Gay and Alexander von Humboldt and was the first to compile a floristic inventory of the archipelago. After the first regular shipping line Palma - Barcelona with 40 passengers started operating in 1837 , further shipping companies were founded in 1855, which maintained shipping connections to Valencia , Ibiza , Maó and Alcúdia . In Port de Sóller there were own shipping companies, which served in particular the ports in France.

From the 17th to the 19th century, the Sóller valley developed into an important growing area for fruit, vegetables and citrus fruits. As early as 1774, Port de Sóller was allowed to export oranges and lemons abroad, which became the basis of a flourishing citrus cultivation in the valley of Sóller.

Orange exports from Port de Sóller to France: (1858–1862 and 1881–1885)

After the French Revolution , there were many French immigrants interested in organizing the fruit trade in their homeland. In addition to oranges and lemons, almonds, figs and olives in particular were exported to France by sea. Direct sea trade with France at the time was simpler and more extensive than land-based trade with the rest of Mallorca. On November 28, 1826, King Ferdinand VII issued a decree which reads: “Royal order that only the port of Palma on Mallorca for foreign trade for the first import and the ports of Alcudia and Soller for export and cabotage allows."

The region's agricultural products were shipped via the port of Sóller to the French ports of Cette and Marseille in France and to mainland Spain. The importance of the port resulted from the remote location of Sóller on the northwest coast, cut off from the rest of the island of Mallorca by the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range . The decline in oranges exports from Port de Sóller to France led to a crisis in the citrus sector. The decline began in 1860 with a crop failure due to a plague that forced many farmers into bankruptcy. The decline reached its most critical point in 1880–1881 because production stagnated.

At that time a parallel emigration process to France began, not to deal with the fruit production of Sóller, which was in a serious crisis, but as a consequence of the socio-economic difficulties that life in Sóller brought with it. As early as 1885, there were numerous colonies of former residents of the Sóller region in Béziers in southern France. A distinction must be made between two types of emigration: a) those who temporarily emigrated due to the crisis in citrus fruit exports to strengthen orange sales in the southern French ports of Cette, Marseille, Saintes , Hyères and Béziers and b) those who settled permanently and for the long term to open specialized fruit or grocery stores, cafes, bars, restaurants and later also wholesalers. The emigration lasted until the 1930s and also led to Central America, especially Puerto Rico .

Jardines de Alfàbia, 2011

In 1860, the Spanish Queen Isabella II (1830-1904) went ashore in Port de Sóller to visit the Arab Gardens of Alfàbia ( Jardines De Alfàbia ), which are located between Bunyola and Sóller, are among the most beautiful in Mallorca. Because of the arduous path, she had to stay in the country house of the gardens. Part of the garden has since been known as the “Queen's Little Garden” ( Jardinet de la Reina ).

In December 1892 and in the spring of 1893 the Empress Elisabeth of Austria-Hungary (1837–1898), better known as “ Sisi ”, visited her cousin Archduke Ludwig Salvator on Mallorca with her yacht Miramar . They celebrated Christmas together in 1892. On February 1, 1893, she drove her yacht to Port de Sóller and overland to Sóller. After the tour company had crossed a mountain pass on February 2nd, they reached the Arab gardens of Alfàbia . The way back led back to Sóller, where they watched a folk dance performance during a stop. The yacht then took Sisi and her cousin from Port de Sóller to the Artà Caves . Then they drove on to Menorca , from where the Archduke returned to Mallorca.

At the end of the 19th century, following the example of Palma, several ports established regular weekly or bi-weekly lines. From Sóller there were connections with Ciutadella , Eivissa , Barcelona , Marseille and Cette , the latter until 1928.

20th century

The educator Miguel Porcel y Riera (1869–1933) organized a school camp in Port de Sóller in August 1901. The German geographer Hans Praesent (1888–1946) made photographs of Port de Sóller in 1909 and 1910, which are preserved in the Deutsche Fotothek in Dresden.

A railcar in Port de Sóller taken over from the former Bilbao tram , 1979

With the construction of the Sóller Railway ( Tren de Sóller ) from 1905 to 1912, the north was more developed from the south. It was inaugurated on April 16, 1912 and, in addition to transporting people, was mainly used to transport Sóller's agricultural products to the island's capital, Palma. The disadvantage of the reduced freight volume for the port after the completion of the rail link is now more than compensated for by another construction project at the time. The tram connection ( Tramvia de Sóller ) from the train station in Sóller to Port de Sóller, inaugurated on October 11, 1913, is a tourist attraction that is unique in the Balearic Islands. Shortly after it was built, it made it possible for boat tourists who landed in Palma to go on a day trip by train to Sóller, then by tram to Port de Sóller and back to Palma by intercity bus via Valldemossa . The new line to Sóller was profitable from the start. Between 1914 and 1926 it had an average occupancy rate of 65%.

The photographer Josep Truyol Otero (1868–1949) shot a series of documentaries with the title “Excursions in Mallorca”, one of which “From Palma to Port de Sóller” has survived. It was shot in 1913 and shows scenes from the inauguration of the Sóller tram and its route.

In 1929 there were 2 hotels in Port de Sóller, in 1935 there were already seven. This was probably due to the fact that at the beginning of the 20th century the port was preferred to Sóller in terms of tourism.

During the Spanish Civil War , ships were bombed on December 19, 1936 and March 26, 1937, but without any significant damage. Both attacks were aimed at Sóller, but Deià was mistakenly shot at the second time . The nationalists set up a port base in Port de Sóller to provide protection and supplies to the submarines of the Spanish National Navy and their Italian colleagues who supported them in the civil war. For its creation, the Navy expropriated the land of the former commanders, customs, police barracks, the convent of the nuns of Santa Catalina de Alejandria , the public school and several other buildings and land. In addition to two submarines, other warships were also stationed in Port de Sóller, such as the torpedo boat N2-17, a tugboat and a pilot boat. In 1941 the base was converted into a Bustamante underwater weapons school and two years later it was renamed “Sóller Naval Station”. A crew of 460 sailors were stationed here, as well as a company of 150 marines and the underwater weapons school with its 200 trainees. The first hyperbaric chamber that existed in Mallorca was installed in the infirmary of the marine station in Sóller for the early treatment of accidents.

Decline in incoming goods in Port de Sóller. (no more goods transport since 1975)

After the end of the civil war, the military installations on the quays were preserved. Since the occupation took place during the war without the corresponding formalities, a document has only now been drawn up that officially recognized the de facto existing situation. Modest work was done as a measure for trade around 1950. It is unclear whether the port lost its traditional commercial importance through its militarization or for other economic reasons. In the period that followed, passenger traffic was reduced to purely local traffic and freight traffic to a few ships per year. Since 1975, freight traffic has not been handled via Port de Sóller, but via other ports, especially Palma and Andratx.

During a maneuver just off the coast of Port de Sóller on June 27, 1946, there was a catastrophic collision of the submarine C-4 with the destroyer Lepanto, as a result of which the submarine sank. The entire crew of 44 people perished.

The inland connection of Port de Sóller was further improved with the construction of the Sóller tunnel , which began on October 10, 1989, cost 4.5 billion pesetas and was inaugurated in 1999 after long delays. The lengthy drive over the 63 hairpin bends of the Coll de Sóller can thus be avoided.

21st century

Three ways to Port de Sóller, above the Túnel de la Mola , 2008

Most of the buildings in Port de Sóller were built after 1990. In 2006 the naval headquarters buildings were torn away to make way for a port expansion. This reversed the last remnants of the militarization of the port during the Spanish Civil War.

On February 24, 2007, the 1329 meter long Túnel de sa Mola was opened, which had been built for 21.5 million euros under the 156.83 meter high mountain Puig de sa Mola to relieve the old road to direct traffic into the lead north of the place. It was only when the tunnel was completed that the promenade was relieved of car traffic so that it could be converted into a pedestrian zone. The redesign, which cost more than 2 million euros, lasted until 2012. In addition to the embankment of sand, the rails of the tram, which previously ran directly along the sea, were moved several meters inland.

Nationwide well-known personalities stay in Port de Sóller again and again: Halle Berry is said to have acquired a property at the port while filming Cloud Atlas in 2011 . In 2015, Chelsea Handler also bought a house in the harbor area and had it renovated. In 2017 and 2018, Michelle Obama , the wife of the former US President, stayed in the port town during her summer vacation.

Population development

The place belonging to the municipality of the nearby small town Sóller has 2548 inhabitants (as of 2019), which means that around 18.6% of the inhabitants of the municipality live in Port de Sóller. The number of inhabitants has fluctuated since 2000 with a peak in 2010. In 1887 the place had 278 inhabitants.

Culture and sights

Churches

Chapel of Santa Caterina, today: Museu de la Mar

The Parròquia de Sant Ramon de Penyafort ("Parish Church of Saint Raymond of Penyafort ") in Port de Sóller is located at Carrer Canonge Oliver 14 . It was built between 1938 and 1943. From 1961 there was an extension with the bell tower built in 1964. The wooden Renaissance altar from the 17th century stood before the construction of the parish church in the Oratori de Sant Ramon de Penyafort . It is dedicated to Saint Catherine of Alexandria . The small altarpiece of the saint was created in 1574 by the carpenter Llucià Arbona and the painter Mateu López for the Oratori de Santa Caterina d'Alexandria .

The Oratori de Sant Ramon de Penyafort (" Oratory ( Chapel ) of Saint Raymond of Penyafort"), which was built in the mid-17th century in a classicist style, owes its creation to donations from the local fishermen and a legend. According to this, the saint is said to have crossed the Mediterranean from Port de Sóller to Barcelona on his capa (medieval coat) after King Jaume I prevented him from returning to the mainland. The whitewashed building with a barrel vault on a rectangular floor plan was closed as a church in 1936. The altarpiece of the chapel is now in the parish church of Port de Sóller.

The former Oratori de Santa Caterina d'Alexandria ("Oratory of Saint Catherine of Alexandria") is now used as a museum. The chapel of Santa Caterina d'Alexandria , or in Castilian Santa Catalina de Alejandría , dates from 1550. The original features are the bell tower, the windows and the portal. The previous building from 1280 fell victim to a Muslim pirate attack in 1542.

Museums

The Maritime Museum Museu de la Mar in the town on Carrer Oratori de Santa Caterina d'Alexandria above the port area shows exhibits on shipbuilding and the history of Sóller in its dependence on the sea. It was installed in the building of the Santa Caterina Chapel , which was rebuilt in the 16th century after the destruction of the old structure in 1280. In addition to exhibitions, the museum, which opened on August 24, 2004, also staged classical concerts.

  Platja des Través

The defense tower Torre Picada , built from 1614 to 1623, was part of a defense system of 85 towers along the coast of Mallorca, which were built in visual contact with each other for observation and defense purposes against attacks by North African pirates (corsairs). With its height of around 11 meters and almost the same diameter, it is one of the larger facilities of its kind. As it is privately owned today, it cannot be climbed by visitors.

The remains of the Far de Bufador are at the northeast port entrance. The Bufador lighthouse was built between 1862 and 1864. The Far de sa Creu took over its purpose from 1930 , and the old Far de Bufador has been out of service since then.

The Far de sa Creu stands above the older Bufador lighthouse on the Punta de sa Creu . It was built from 1928 to 1930 and has a range of 18  nautical miles . The tower was designed and approved by the "father" of the Balearic Islands lighthouses, Emili Pou y Bonet (1830–1888).

The Far del Cap Gros lighthouse on the west side of the port entrance ( 39 ° 47 ′ 50 ″  N , 2 ° 40 ′ 53 ″  E ) is the counterpart of the Far de sa Creu and is still in operation like it. As the oldest of the three lighthouses, it was completed in 1842, but it has only been lit since 1859. Its range is 13 nautical miles.

beaches

Platja des Través

The Platja des Través is a beach about 610 meters long and 15 meters wide along the Passeig des Través quayside south of the port area of ​​Port de Sóller. It is made of coarse sand. The bathing area and shipping traffic are separated from each other by buoys. On the southern section of the beach, in front of the mouth of the Torrent Major stream , the tracks for the tram to Sóller are located immediately behind the beach.

Platja den Repic

The Platja den Repic as a southwestern local beach is about 350 meters long and up to 30 meters wide. It is separated from the Platja des Través by the mouth of the Torrent Major and the pier there. Hotel buildings and restaurants are located behind the Passeig de sa Platja promenade .

Both local beaches occupy the eastern and southern areas of the Badia de Sóller ('Bay of Sóller'). They are managed and are heavily frequented in the season.

port

Port area in Port de Sóller to the north, 2010

The Badia de Sóller offers the only protected harbor on the northwest coast of the island of Mallorca between Port d'Andratx and Port de Pollença . So Sóller was able to develop into the capital of this region in the Serra de Tramuntana . The port of Sóller, whose old coastal area has now disappeared, must have extended over a large part of the area known as "Camp de sa Mar", making the coast of the port in what is now known as Playa de'n Repic , was designed completely different.

The port is still the center of Port de Sóller today. The existing port facilities are based on buildings from the 18th century. They have 465 berths, 164 of which are held ready for travelers. The port is partly used for military purposes: the local naval station, once a submarine base, now houses a military summer residence for officers. The fully equipped port is 8.5 m deep.

Port de Sóller is the starting point for excursion boats along the northwest coast of Mallorca, including the bays of Cala de sa Calobra and Cala de Deià as well as Cala Tuent .

In addition to coming from the lake, the village can be reached from the southeast on the MA-1134 road from Sóller or the MA-2124 secondary road from the settlement of l'Horta. The MA-1134 runs partially through the Túnel de sa Mola, which opened on February 24, 2007 . The 1329-meter-long tunnel , which extends to the outskirts of Port de Sóller, was built for around 21.5 million euros under the 156.83-meter-high mountain Puig de sa Mola to relieve the old road that carries traffic on the banks of the Badia de Sóller led directly through the town. There is a road connection via the Ma-11 to Soller, from which the MA-2124 and the MA-1134 branch off. The 3,023 meter long Sóller tunnel connects the capital Palma with the port of Port de Sóller.

Three bus connections run regularly to and from Port de Sóller: Bus No. 210 from Port de Sóller via Valldemossa to Palma, Bus No. 211 from Port de Sóller to Palma, and Bus No. 212 from Port de Sóller to Fornalutx . There are two bus connections on line 354 during the day on the route between Can Picafort and Port de Sóller via Cuber , Gorg Blau and Lluc monastery , which open up the eastern part of the Serra de Tramuntana along the Ma-10.

Since 1913 there is a tram connection from Sóller to Port de Sóller. This is operated by Ferrocarril de Sóller . The tram leaves Sóller every hour on the hour from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and returns from Port de Sóller every 30 minutes. This also connects the train connection from Sóller to Palma and back, which is offered four times a day. Due to the slow speed, the dangers of tram traffic are often underestimated.

A circular hiking trail leads from Port de Sóller to Muleta , another from Port de Sóller via Llucalcari to Deià .
