What you'll do

Your private excursion of two of Mallorca's mountain villages, Valldemossa and Sóller, starts in Palma, where you'll meet your guide and board a comfortable, air-conditioned minibus. As you embark on your journey, you'll cut through part of the island's agricultural region, where fruit trees and olive groves paint a picturesque landscape against the backdrop of distant mountains. Your first destination is Valldemossa, the highest town in Mallorca, with its authentic charisma and rich history untouched by modern demands.

In Valldemossa, you'll roam through the quaint, cobbled streets, past iconic buildings and monuments, with your guide sharing fascinating insights about the village's history. You'll visit the Royal Carthusian Monastery and the Chopin Museum, spots synonymous with the Polish composer Frédéric Chopin and his lover, the French writer George Sand, who spent the winter of 1838 to 1839 in the village. Remember to try the locally famous coca de patata, a delectable, slightly sweet potato cake, during your leisurely exploration of the town.

After your Valldemossa visit, you'll embark on a scenic coastal drive, offering views of mountains merging with the sea. Your guide will highlight noteworthy spots like Sa Foradada, Son Marroig, and the quaint towns of Deià and Llucalcari. Feel free to request a pit stop at any of these picturesque locations for an impromptu photo session or simply to marvel at the scenery.

Next, you'll explore Sóller, a town renowned for its prosperous orange trade in the 19th century. Sóller is characterized by its beautiful Modernist homes, a legacy of wealthy Mallorcans who returned from France to construct these impressive structures. Stroll through the lively streets with your guide, visit landmarks like the Sant Bartomeu Church, and capture memorable photos of the historic red tram connecting the town with its port.

After an immersive visit to these two charming villages and a memorable tour of Mallorca's scenic western coast, you'll return to Palma, passing through the mountains and verdant agricultural fields.
