Port Soller is beautifully situated in a cove shaped harbour, with the Sierra de Tramuntana rising up behind.  Along with the village of Fornalutx and the hamlet of Biniaraix they combine to form Soller.  The combined population is around 12,000.  The tram linking Soller and the port runs along the quiet beach side road. This has a marina at the eastern end and many good restuarants and bars.  The resort is sedate, tasteful and middle aged. Which suited us down to the ground.  There is a strong German and Scandinavian influence which tends to keep standards high.  

Two lighthouses sit on the headlands on either side of the bay, La Badia de Sóller. Development on the east headland has been prevented by the area being used as a training ground by the armed forces.
