Día 5
We’ll make our way to Sóller, an enchanting mountain town of unique origin. In the 19th century, money was made by exporting Sóller’s abundant citrus. Locals who brought their oranges to France returned with riches that were poured into sophisticated villas in Spain’s local adaptation of the Art Nouveau style,the modernista. Sóller was known as the ‘City of Oranges’ and ‘City of Gold.’ The best part? Transportation there is via the traditional Ferrocarril (railway) which boasts scenic views through the mountain range, the Serra de Tramuntana.
Día 6
Día 6
We’ll start with a leisurely coffee and mallorcan treat of ensaimadas in Sóller’s social and festive town square, La plaza de la constitución. Then we will take an excursion to the picturesque village of Valldemossa and the mystical cape of Deià, which has captured the attention and hearts of numerous creative and famous figures throughout the years. Dinner back in Sóller’s will allow us an opportunity to enjoy fresh mediterranean cuisine.
Día 7
We go east to Alcúdia, where the beaches are known as some of the best in Spain. White sands and turquoise waters. Along the shore, you’ll have the chance to gape at some of the modern yachts that invade the marinas. Then we’ll go back in time to visit la ciudad amurallada (the walled city) of Alcúdia, which still hosts original Roman ruins from centuries past. We’ll enjoy another fabulous lunch and some time on the sea.
Día 8
Prepare for other-worldly scenery during our visit to Las cuevas del drach: The dragon caves. Taking their name from Mallorcan folklore, these caves mystify in natural beauty and are said to have inspired Jules Verne's science-fiction novel, Journey to the Centre of the Earth. From there, we will journey back to Palma.
Día 9
Our last full day on-island will begin with breakfast and a visit to the emblematic Castell de Bellver. Bellver means ‘lovely view’ in Mallorcan and the 14th-century royal fortress lives up to its name by granting us the most privileged view of the city and bay. In the afternoon we’ll toast to our experience at a local gin distillery, with gin distilled with foraged wildflowers and fresh citrus fruit from the rural orchards of Mallorca.
