A private five-hour drive through the Serra de Tramuntana takes you from Sóller’s cobbled square to Valldemossa’s 14th-century Charterhouse — guided, with entrance included. Expect citrus-scented roads, limestone views and short walks on uneven cobbles.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You turn off the highway and the road tightens, terraces of citrus and olive trees pressing against dry stone walls. The private car threads the Serra de Tramuntana, the mountain range that shapes Mallorca’s northwest, and drops you into Sóller’s Plaza Mayor where tram lines, a pale church façade and the smell of roasting almonds meet the sea-breeze.
