After a breakfast of cake, sandwiches and coffee, we got onto the FerroCarril de Soller.
The historic electric train takes a route north from the capital across the plains, winding through mountains and 13 tunnels of the Serra de Tramuntana, finally ending in the large railway station of the northern town of Sóller.
Work began on the railway in 1911 on the profits of the orange and lemon trade, which at the time was booming. For this reason, it is sometimes known as the Orange Express.
The sound of the train is different on open fields versus in the tunnel.
Fields that we passed on the way from Palma to Soller.
In the tunnel, must be right next door to the tunnel we drove through on our way from Palma to Soller on the first day.
We walked into Soller, dropped our stuff and made our way back to the car for the drive into the Sierra de Tramuntana.
