Summer nights in the Tramuntana. Live Mediterranean.
Choosing Puerto de Sóller as your summer holiday destination is a perfect choice to enjoy the sea, the sun, the sand and the sea breeze surrounded by the Tramuntana mountain range and the incredible landscapes that it offers us during these months. But not only is it a good choice for daytime activities, but at night, all these picturesque and incredible Mediterranean places are transformed, offering us a totally different Sóller Valley. A Sóller Valley full of landscapes and magical places to enjoy your holidays when the sun goes down. So today we will talk about these idyllic places to get to know the essence of summer nights in the heart of the Sierra de Tramuntana.
Sant Joan and Sant Pere in the Port of Sóller
If you are visiting Port de Sóller you will probably know that the most important festivities are the feasts of Sa Fira i Es Firó and the fiestas of Sant Bartomeu, patron saint of the Valley of Sóller; however, there are two other dates that are just as special, and even more so in some cases, for the inhabitants of Port de Sóller. We are talking about the night of Sant Joan and, more importantly, the feasts of Sant Pere.
Cala Tuent: a mediterranean paradise.
The spectacular coves of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range and its crystal clear blue waters are two of the features that make visiting these fantastic spots in the Mediterranean in spring and summer a perfect plan. Magical places where you can connect with nature and the sea and enjoy the peace and fresh air. Places to relax and get to know the northwest coast of Mallorca in a very special way and enjoy your holidays in the Sóller Valley to the full.
The fishermen's quarter of Port de Sóller: Santa Catalina
To decide to spend your holidays in Puerto de Sóller is to have the chance to enjoy the Mediterranean Sea, the Tramuntana Mountains and all the corners, places, stories and activities that these two characteristic Mediterranean places have to offer. So today we invite you to explore one of these magical places, full of fishing tradition and history. A place you should definitely visit during your stay in Port de Sóller: the fishermen's quarter of Santa Catalina.
Sa Fira i Es Firó de Sóller. The festival and how to experience it.
Being in Puerto de Sóller between the first and second week of May is a real privilege, as you will be able to enjoy the biggest festivities in the Sóller Valley: The Sa Fira and Es Firó festivities.
