a walk to the east and early morning shadows.
a walk to the east and early morning shadows.
Puerto de Sóller - in north-west Mallorca, is the perfect seaside retreat. It enjoys stunning mountain scenery, beautiful sea views and amazing seafood. what more could you want from your late summer break destination?
As summer fades in the UK - we decide to chase the sun and squeeze out another few days of funshine... This has been our second stay in Puerto de Sóller - our first trip was back in 2005.
This is how our itinerary panned out...
Monday 27th - We fly to Palma and cab-it up to our fantastic apartment that over looks the bay. We unpack and are ready to explore. A quick trip to the local supermarket and we are stocked. In the eve we enjoy an amazing meal at Agapanto - who would have thought that scallops and vanilla would taste so good?.
Tuesday 28th - The sun is out and the sky is blue. We catch the tram into Sóller and buy some local fish and squid to cook back at the apartment. We have our first swim of the week in the warm, crystal clear Med. In the eve we watch the sunset and cook up a feast.
Wednesday 29th - Another sunny day. Early start to board the cruise up the coast to Sa Calobra - this breathtaking beach flanked by high cliffs is definitely worth a visit. Back to PDS early pm to relax on the terrace then take a dip. We cook up a paella in the eve and enjoy some local wine.
Thursday 30th - Yippee! - more sunshine. We decide to walk from Puerto de Sóller to Sóller. A trek that takes us up to the west of the bay and into the beautiful Island countryside. We pass ancient olive groves and luxurious new-builds. In the afternoon we relax and swim. More tasty local food and booze in the eve.
Friday 1st Oct - Our last day in the port. We walk to the east this time and find the most gorgeous scenery - this place really takes our breath away - stunning. More chilling in the afternoon and more yummy nosh and booze at the apartment.
Saturday 2nd Oct - Up early and into Sóller to catch the wooden train to Palma. This is a classic train journey and a must for any visit to Mallorca. We check into HM jaime III - a very nice hotel in central Palma. We take a stroll around the older streets of the city and end up at the spectacular cathedral. At sunset we enjoy a glass of wine on the terrace of es Baluard Gallery.
Sunday 3rd Oct - We fly back to a drizzly Stansted... Lovely!
