Port de Sóller: the beauty of its bay and the sound of waves make us feel like we were in the remote 18th Century, time when most of its infrastructures were built. But the history of the Port surely goes back further, to the first dwellers on the island, because it has a privileged deffensive setting.
Two of the most popular beaches around the Port are Calobra and Cala Tuent. Creeks that still have the taste of the most primitive and authentic Mallorca, are accessible by road or by boat or hiking.
Cala Tuent is about 40 kilometers from the port and beach is mixed sand and rocks, surrounded by pine forests, shaded Balearic highest peak, Puig Major (1445m high). On foot, the beautiful tops Sa Coast route, which can be started at the Mirador de Ses Barques, a beautiful hill above the harbor.
Sa Calobra is a beach that may seem otherworldly. Wedged between two high cliffs to the sun gilds and shines with a special light is 38 miles from Soller. The access road, though laborious, is a visual treat, and if you decide to walk, we recommend you walk the route des Torrent Pareis (Caution: This is a route for experienced hikers and is not accessible all year).
