This Castle is unique, as this is the only round castle in Spain. Next is the beautiful Town Hall. Over here, you can see the famous 800 years old olive tree and the King’s Gardens.

Valldemossa

The second stop of the day is the town of Valldemossa. The village is very charming and loved by many locals, and after your visit, you will understand why! You will find Valldemossa in the hills of the Tramuntana range, not far from Palma. Valldemossa is situated in a beautiful nature surrounding, and you will see lots of forested hills and greenery.

The village is very famous for one particular sight: its historic 13th-century monastery. This monastery is famed for its link to the Polish composer Frederic Chopin. He spent a winter at the Real Cartuja (Royal Palace), with its beautiful gardens and the church, together with French writer Aurore Dupin. She was better known as her alias George Sand. Enjoy the history stories about these two and their relation to Valldemossa. The village itself is filled with charming little streets and plenty of cafes, galleries, and gift shops. And do not forget the variety of delicious local food to try over here. Find a traditional family bakery and order the local specialty ‘coca de patata’. This translates as ‘potato cake’ and is delicious!

Sollér

Next on your accessible tour in Mallorca is Sollér. The town and its surroundings have lush valleys, orange groves, mountains, and sea. From the town square we will explore the Old Town, with its small alleys, many tapas bars and pastry shops. Try the local ice-cream and freshly squeezed orange juice. Oranges grow here on every street corner, and they are very present in the local food culture. An attraction not to be missed is the immense Gothic church of Sant Bartomeu. The church is not accessible as there are steps to enter. However only the outside façade is impressive enough.

After the Old Town of Sollér, you continue towards the nearby port of Sollér. This lies in one of Mallorca’s most beautiful harbors. This town has the best of both worlds: magnificent mountain scenery and a sea view decorated with beautiful beaches.
