[2025 Palma de Mallorca ] Travel Guide for Train Sóller Station (Palma de Mallorca) (Updated Jul)

#mediterraneanvibes My visit to Mallorca was the perfect blend of beach relaxation, cultural discovery, and stunning Mediterranean scenery. The island truly has something for everyone — from hidden coves and dramatic mountains to lively towns and peaceful villages. I based myself in Palma, the capital, and was immediately impressed by the beautiful Cathedral of Santa Maria, rising above the sea with its golden stone glowing in the sun. Wandering the old town’s narrow streets, I found cozy cafés, local markets, and elegant courtyards that gave Palma a charming and authentic vibe. One of my favorite experiences was exploring the Serra de Tramuntana mountains. I took a trip to the village of Valldemossa, surrounded by olive groves and pine forests, where time seemed to stand still. Another day, I rode the vintage wooden train to Sóller and continued to the port — the scenic ride through tunnels and lemon groves was unforgettable. Of course, no trip to Mallorca would be complete without time by the sea. I spent hours relaxing on Cala Pi and Cala Mondragó, two beaches with crystal-clear turquoise water and white sand, far from the bigger tourist crowds. Mallorca surprised me with its variety, beauty, and peaceful atmosphere. Whether exploring inland villages, hiking coastal cliffs, or simply watching the sunset with a glass of sangria in hand, I left the island feeling refreshed and already dreaming of returning. #travel #spain #beachlife
