Three village walk

Three village walk

Today we going to do the Three Village walk and have a look round the village life. From Port de Soller we take the road to Soller following the tram line. We follow the narrow streets into Soller, stepping back on the narrow pavements as the cars come past.

We arrive in the main square which is bustling with people and lined with cafe bars. In the centre is a water fountain and on one side is the main church of Soller with the tram line running at the side to the main railway station. We have a look inside the church and my first thought is how dark it is inside. Just the light from the windows coming in lighting up the gold leaf alter.

We leave Soller square and walk up one of the main shopping street with a mix range of shops. We then turn out of Soller and find a path that leads us to Binibassi. All along we are passing many orange and lemon trees. The path carries on up, passing olive terraces to the village of Fornalutx. This is known as one of the best Mallorca traditional villages. We enter the main square where narrow cobble streets lead up and down and smaller one cross them. Each of the narrow streets or alley ways are lined with large terracotta plant pots.


We have lunch in a cafe in the main square and watch people go past. We also see our first Orange Soller being made. A tall glass filled with orange ice cream, fresh squeezed orange juice and topped off with fresh cream and chocolate.

After lunch we wander more around the alley ways and look into the court yards of the buildings. Lovely little village where you can just wander and take many photos. We now head out of the village and down the valley to Biniraix which we pass through again later in the week. There is only one cafe bar which is busy with walkers from doing the Cuban walk.
