Spanien: Reise- und Sicherheitshinweise
Bus A1 runs from the airport to the centre every 15 minutes and takes about 20 minutes.
The vintage Soller train from Placa Espanya crosses the Tramuntana and is a trip in its own right.
Santa Catalina is the food neighbourhood, the market plus the streets around it.
Hiring a car makes sense for the north coast, but old town parking is scarce and expensive.
Local knowledge
Contributed by guides, operators and creators on the ground. Community advice, kept separate from official sources.
Take the Soller train, then the tram down to the port. You get the whole mountain range for the price of two tickets and no hire car.
