Discover & book Mallorca train services

Travelling by train is probably the most relaxing and enjoyable way to journey through Europe. However, getting to the Spanish island of Mallorca can be a little trickier as taking the train and then a ferry or a flight can be a lengthy and time-consuming venture. However, if you are determined to do it, then where there's a will there's a way!

Nearest train station to Mallorca

Train and metro routes are operated by  SFM (Serveis Ferroviaris de Mallorca) . All of them depart and end at Palma 'Estació Intermodal', situated in Plaça d'Espanya. Updated information can also be found on the  TIB (Transports de  les  Illes Balears) website .

Mainland Spain to Mallorca by train

Renfe  is the Spanish national railway company, operating an extensive network throughout the country. They offer four different types of routes: Cercanías (commuter trains), Media Distancia (regional trains), Larga Distancia (long-distance trains), and AVE (Alta Velocidad Española - high-speed trains).

All four of them are available in Barcelona and Valencia, including high-speed AVE trains. These connect both cities with Madrid and Seville, while there are also AVE routes between Barcelona, Málaga and Zaragoza. From Barcelona and Valencia, there are several daily ferry services and flights to Mallorca.

Bear in mind that passengers using  Baleària ferries  and Renfe trains get a discount of up to 50% on their train or ferry ticket when purchasing both at the same time. Click on the option to create a promotional code when booking on Baleària or Renfe websites, or ask for the discount at their ticket offices. Once you've bought the first of the two tickets, you have 24 hours to use the code when purchasing the second one. This second journey must occur within 48 hours of your first trip. Only valid for train journeys departing or arriving in Barcelona and Valencia.

From Barcelona Barcelona Sants is the city's main train station, from which national and international trains operate. To reach the airport you can take a taxi (0h15) or buses A1 and A2 (0h30). To arrive at the ferry terminal get a taxi (0h15), or metro line 3 to the 'Drassanes' or 'Paral•lel' stops (0h55) - both within a 15-minute walk from the harbour.

From Valencia Valencia has two main train stations. If you arrive by AVE from Madrid, Cuenca or Albacete, or on long-distance trains from Castellón, Madrid, Alicante or Barcelona, you'll probably arrive at Joaquín Sorolla station. From there, take a taxi to the airport (0h15), or metro lines 3 or 5 (0h40). To reach the ferry terminal, you can get a taxi (0h20), or the local bus and metro lines (0h50).

Estació Nord is located in the centre of Valencia. Several long-distance, regional and commuter trains operate from here, including those to the town of Port Bou on the French border. Metro lines 3 and 5 will take you to the airport (0h30), as will a taxi (0h15). To get to the ferry terminal, take a taxi (0h20) or a bus or metro (0h45).

International train routes to Mallorca

Spain has good railway connections with neighbouring countries France and Portugal. There is a high-speed train network that connects Madrid, Barcelona, Marseille, Toulouse, Lyon and Paris. There are also trains from Lisbon to Madrid and to the Spanish-French border in Irún.

London to Mallorca by train

If you're coming from the UK, then a good choice is  Eurostar , the high-speed passenger train from London to Paris and Brussels which travels via the Channel Tunnel. Not to be confused with  Eurotunnel , the company which owns the Channel Tunnel whose car-carrying trains shuttle road vehicles across the Channel.

Luggage allowances on trains to Mallorca

Whether you're travelling with a single carry-on bag or several large suitcases, your luggage is a part of your journey. You can carry up to 3 pieces of luggage on board per person on Renfe trains. Their combined measure should be no larger than 290cm and their combined weight no heavier than 25kg.

Buggies, sports equipment, and musical instruments (no larger than 30 x 120 x 38cm) can also be taken aboard Renfe trains. However, if you are travelling on a long-distance route with a bicycle then it should be no larger than 120cm x 90 x 40cm. If it's larger than this then you'll need to remove the wheels and pedals and pack them in a carrying bag along with the frame.

A  door-to-door luggage service  is also available. Renfe will collect your luggage from you and deliver it to the address of your choice the next day, allowing you to travel luggage-free. You can book this service up to 2 days before your journey.

Scenic train trips in Mallorca

The opening of a railway line from Palma to Sóller  from Palma to Soller in 1912 and a tram linking Sóller to its port the following year brought the north-west coast within easy reach of the capital. The vintage carriages are still in use, providing a joyride for tourists.

Several trains a day leave from Plaça d'Espanya in Palma, with its frequency increased from April to October. The train, all mahogany panels and brass fittings, leaves Palma amid a bustle of hisses, hoots and whistles before rattling down the city streets and into the suburbs. Soon you are out on the plain, passing small country stations and pigs rooting beneath the trees.

You can get off at Bunyola and visit the 'Túnel' factory where Mallorca's herb-based liqueurs are made - the label shows a train emerging from a tunnel. Stay on the train and soon you start to climb, entering a 3-km tunnel before returning to daylight for the drop, through a dizzying series of bends, to Sóller.

The Orange Express

Tren de Sóller – updated 02 February 2023.

The Tren de Sóller, located in Majorca, is a historic railway that offers a unique and breath-taking experience to travellers. This historic train has been in operation since 1912 and is one of the oldest tourist trains in Spain. The Tren de Sóller passes through the stunning Sierra de Tramuntana mountain range, offering superb views of the island’s lush landscapes and the Mediterranean Sea.

Even if you are only on the island for a short time, the narrow-gauge, Tren de Sóller journey from Palma to Sóller should be close to the top on your things-to-do list. One of the most rewarding excursions on the island, the vintage train to Sóller is a very popular attraction with a journey time of around 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Tren de Sóller – Wooden train

The train journey takes approximately 40 minutes and covers a distance of approximately 25 kilometers. The train is made up of vintage carriages with wooden seats and large windows, giving passengers a chance to fully appreciate the breathtaking scenery that surrounds them. Along the route, the train passes through a number of tunnels, over bridges and past picturesque villages, making it a truly unforgettable experience.

Sometimes known as the Orange Express, the wooden train was originally introduced to transport oranges and lemons from the Sóller valley to the capital, replacing a stagecoach service, which crossed the high mountains via the Sóller pass on a steep, narrow dirt track, which was exhausting and tediously slow.

Funded by profits of the citrus fruit trade, the Tren de Sóller has trundled along the winding 27.3km route to Sóller since 1912.

Art Deco station

Departing from its own station in Palma, Plaça de l’Estació, the train only has one stop at Bunyola before it arrives at its final destination, the quaint Art Deco station in Sóller; which is housed in an early-17th-century mansion.

A journey back in time

This is a train trip that will transport you back in time, you will hear a cacophony of hoots, whistles, rattles and hisses as the narrow-gauge train with its mahogany panels and brass fittings initially rolls through the streets of Palma.

Within 20 minutes, you will be enjoying the countryside dotted with olive trees and a view of the mountains in the distance. Just 30 minutes after leaving Palma, you will arrive at Bunyola, a traditional town located on the spurs of the Serra de Tramuntana. The train station at Bunyola is picturesque constructed from blond-stone and combined with traditional green shutters, definitely a chance to take some memorable photos of your trip.

From Bunyola the journey becomes super-scenic as it crosses the 496m high Serra de Alfàbia mountain range via a series of 13 tunnels, bridges and viaducts.

One of the most impressive parts of the Tren de Sóller journey is the passage through the famous Tunnel des Vuit, a dark, atmospheric tunnel that runs for over 1,100 meters and is considered one of the most beautiful railway tunnels in the world. This tunnel is illuminated by flickering lights, adding to the overall ambiance of the train journey.

Other things to look out for on the journey are Mirador Pujol de’n Banya, an incredible lookout point with views stretching out over the Sóller valley. This is followed by the “cinc-ponts” viaduct which has five arches with spans 8 metres high and a great many bends and the “cinc-ponts” tunnel with its 180-degree bend.

When you arrive at Sóller and you’ve had a chance to explore, we highly recommend that you take the old tram, which regularly trundles down to Port de Sóller. Combined train and tram tickets can be purchased, and this is the best option financially. A combined train and tram ticket for the entire journey from Palma to Port de Sóller and back to Palma is €32.

Transportation link

In addition to being a popular tourist attraction, the Tren de Sóller also provides an important transportation link for locals, making it a vital part of Majorca’s history and heritage. The train operates daily, making it easy for travelers to experience this unique and unforgettable journey.

Please note:

The Tren de Sóller does not leave Palma from Plaça Espanya but rather from its own separate building to the left-hand-side of the main train station. Just look out for a sign that reads ‘Ferrocarril de Sóller’ above the entrance and you will find it easily.

When you purchase your tickets, you must inform them which time you will be taking the return train, so some advance planning about your itinerary for the day is required.

In conclusion, the Tren de Sóller is an exceptional experience that should not be missed by anyone visiting Majorca. With its breathtaking scenery, historic charm, and comfortable carriages, the Tren de Sóller is the perfect way to explore the island and discover its hidden gems. Whether you’re a history buff, nature lover, or just looking for a unique and memorable experience, the Tren de Sóller is an excellent choice.

A day trip to Port de Sóller on the Palma Soller train, Mallorca

If you’re in Mallorca and looking for a fun, picturesque and easy day trip from Palma, it doesn’t get much better than riding the historic train from Palma to Soller.

Contents (click to view)

The Palma Soller train, officially called the Tren de Sóller or the Ferrocarril de Sóller (Soller railway), is one of the most famous attractions in Mallorca. It’s an antique narrow-gauge railway that runs 27 km from the capital city, Palma, in the south, due north through the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range to the small town of Soller on the northwest side of the island.

From there, you can either stay and explore Sóller, or take the antique tram another 15 minutes’ ride to Port de Sóller, on the coast.

I visited Mallorca in November for a city break in Palma . But with time to spare, I wanted to explore some of the island’s other highlights, and riding the Palma-Soller train was top of my list.

So I grabbed a couple of friends and went for a day trip.

History of the Palma-Soller train

The area around Sóller in the northwest of Mallorca is a fertile farming region, nicknamed the ‘Valley of Gold’ for its olive oil production and orange groves. But in the 19 th century before the Tren de Sóller was built, the only way the farmers could get their produce from their farms to the markets of Palma was by mule and donkey carts through the narrow passes of the Tramuntana mountains.

That changed in 1912, when the Soller to Palma railway opened. Now the farmers were quickly and easily able to get their produce to market.

Today, of course, the olives and oranges are transported by road, and the train has become one of Mallorca’s most popular tourist attractions.

Tren de Sóller: some facts and figures

• Age: 112 years
• Distance: 27 km / 16.7 miles
• Track width: 914 mm (an English yard)
• Vertical climb: 199 metres
• One-way journey time: about an hour
• Number of tunnels: 13
• Length of longest tunnel: 2,900 metres

How far is Soller from Palma?

As the crow flies, the distance between Sóller and Palma de Mallorca is about 23 kilometers (14 miles). If you’re driving or taking the bus between Sóller and Palma de Mallorca, the road is about 29 kilometers (18 miles). This route takes about 36 minutes.

If you want to take the Palma to Soller train (which I assume is why you’re here!) the distance is 27 km (16.7 miles) and the train tales about an hour, with a brief stop in Bunyola.

How to get from Palma to Soller by train

The Tren de Soller departs from the Ferrocarril Railway Station at the Plaza de Espana in Palma. Buy your ticket at the ticket window (they don’t accept cards so bring cash!) and then head out onto the platform, where the polished wooden train will be waiting.

Boarding the Palma Sóller train is like stepping back in time. The wood-panelled carriages are like something from another century (because that’s exactly what they are!) with gleaming brass and leather-upholstered seats. Unlike modern trains, the windows can be opened, meaning you can stick your camera out (but be careful!) to take pictures along the route.

It takes about an hour to rattle the 27 km from Palma to Soller, passing through 13 tunnels varying in length from 30 to 2,900 metres (close the windows, the tunnels are very dark and noisy!), over a 52-metre-long viaduct, and rising a vertical height of nearly 200 metres.

Along the way you’ll pass by pretty villages, plenty of olive and orange groves, and some stunning mountain scenery.

As you approach Soller some of the trains make a stop at Bunyola so you can disembark and take pictures of the glorious view before descending some impressive hairpin bends into the town itself.

Once you arrive at Soller station you can grab a coffee from the platform cafe, or just take the steps down to the street and turn right towards the town centre. Here you can either get the next tram to Port de Sóller, or stay for a while, explore the town, and head to the port a bit later.

What to see and do in Sóller, Mallorca

Thanks to the wealth of its orange and olive farming industry, Soller became quite rich, and this shows in the beautiful Art Nouveau architecture you can see around the town. The heart of Soller is the main square – the Plaza de la Constitución, where you’ll find the magnificent Sant Bartomeu church and the Ajuntament de Sóller (Town Hall), as well as numerous bars and cafes with outside seating.

Running away from the Plaza are a few cute pedestrian streets with some charming gift shops, cafes and delis. Soller also has an art gallery, Can Prunera , featuring works by Kandinksy, Picasso and Warhol, the Balearic Museum of Natural Sciences ( Museu Balear de Ciències Naturals ) and a botanical garden.

On Saturdays there’s also a market selling local products and crafts, and if you’re there in March there’s also an orange festival to celebrate the orange harvest.

The tram from Soller to Port de Soller

The tram departs from a stop just outside the railway station; there is another stop close to the main square too. It’s very similar in style to the train: a charming piece of early 20 th century engineering complete with gleaming brass and polished wood. It rumbles its way from the centre of Soller town to the port, on the hour every hour throughout the day, taking about 15 minutes.

I think it’s better to go straight to Port de Soller first, have lunch there and then see Sóller on the way back, but of course you could have lunch in Soller and then get the tram to the port afterwards. It’s completely your choice.

What to see and do in Port Sóller

Port de Soller is an extremely picturesque harbour town with a pretty marina full of small boats, and a charming promenade lined with shops and cafes.

As the tram makes its way round the waterfront you’ll be able to enjoy the view of the horseshoe-shaped harbour surrounded by the peaks of the Tramuntana mountains before getting off in the town centre.

You can then have lunch at one of the relaxed harbourside cafes before exploring the rest of the town.

A wander along to the far end of the port takes you to a set of steps leading up the hill. At the top you’ll find two viewpoints very close together: one looking out over the harbour, the other, at Plaça de Santa Catarina, looking northwest out over the sea towards Spain.

Here you will also find the Museu de la Mar – the Museum of the Sea or maritime museum, which is housed in a former monastery and details the port’s maritime history.

During the summer, if you have time or want to stay an extra day, there are hiking trails you can follow, or boat trips from the harbour. It’s also only a 45-minute-walk back to Soller if you’d rather do that than catch the tram back – but I don’t think it’d be possible to do all of this in a day, so this is probably only something to consider if you plan to stay overnight in Sóller or Port de Sóller.

A day trip from Palma to Port de Soller: suggested itinerary

The train leaves Palma at 10.30 am and takes an hour to get to Soller. When you arrive at 11.30, walk out of the station and turn right to head down the hill into the town centre.

You could have a wander and get lunch in Soller, but my recommendation would be to have a quick look round and maybe grab a coffee, before getting the 12 pm tram down to Port de Soller (Puerto Sóller).  

You can then have lunch by the harbour where there are loads of restaurants and cafes to choose from. I had an extremely nice sandwich and chips at Bar Albatros , which was possibly a bit overpriced but the food was good and so was the location!

After lunch, you can explore Port de Soller for an hour or so before getting the 2.30 pm tram back to Soller.

Then you have a bit more time to explore Soller’s cute pedestrian streets, shops and cafes, before getting the return train at 5 pm, bringing you back to central Palma around 6 pm.

There isn’t an enormous amount do to in either place which is why you can easily manage both in a day trip from Palma. For me that was quite enough to get a feel for the place, take some photos, enjoy the scenery, and see another part of Mallorca apart from Palma.

You need to pay attention to timings and not get too distracted because there are a limited number of trains and trams and missing the last one of either would be a bit of a pain, but if you stick to this schedule it works perfectly.

Timetable for the train from Palma to Soller

There’s only one Palma-Soller train a day, which leaves at 10.30 am. The return train back from Soller to Palma is at 5 pm – so that gives you about five hours to explore the village of Soller and the Port.

(If you happen to be already in Soller you can also do this journey in the opposite direction, leaving from Soller to Palma at 09.00, and returning from Palma to Soller at 18.00).

Note that the train does not run at all between mid-December and the end of January as it is closed for maintenance.

Here is the Palma to Soller Train timetable (correct at time of writing). Times can and do change, especially between winter and summer, so it’s worth checking before you travel .

Soller to Puerto Sóller tram timetable

Trams depart from Soller to the port every hour between 8 am and 7 pm.

The same tram goes back the other way on the half hour, so 8.30 am to 7.30 pm.

The journey time is about 15 minutes. There’s a reduced service in the winter so if you’re there between October and March it’s best to double check this.

Here is the Soller tram schedule (correct at time of writing):

How much is the Palma train to Soller?

• A one-way ticket from Palma to Soller (or vice versa) costs €20.
• If you want to get the train both ways, a return journey costs €28.
• A one-way ticket on the tram from Soller to Port de Soller costs €9, making the cost of a single ticket all the way from Palma to Port de Soller €29.
• A combination return ticket on both train and tram costs €35.

Important note: the ticket widow does not accept cards (but there is a branch of Santander with a cashpoint about two minutes’ walk away if you need cash).

Another option is to go there on the train and then get the bus back from Port de Soller to Palma (the number 204 bus is quicker than the train, taking just 35 minutes, and costing €2 – €4).

We ended up opting for the combination return because it seemed simplest.

Is the train from Palma to Soller worth it?

I really enjoyed my day trip to Soller on the Mallorca vintage train. While it is much more expensive than the bus, it was a fun way to travel and we saw some lovely scenery on the way.

Despite the arrival of the rain, it was a really interesting day out and a great way to see a bit more of the island, especially if you don’t have a car.

However, my favourite part of the trip was actually spending time in Soller and Port de Soller, so if you’re trying to save money (and time!), I’d recommend getting the bus instead, and using the money you’ve saved to treat yourself to a slap-up lunch by the waterfront in Port de Soller.

If do decide to stay the night in Soller or Port de Soller, here are some good options for places to stay.

How to Get Around Mallorca by Train, Metro and Bus

• August 22, 2022

Did you land in Mallorca only to find the island is a bit bigger than you think? How are you supposed to get all the way from the airport to Alcúdia on the other side of the island? Luckily, Mallorca has an extensive public transportation network operated by Transports de les Illes Balears (TIB) that includes train, metro and bus lines.

Mallorca’s 3 Train Lines

There are three train lines run by TIB that leave the Estació Intermodal across from Plaça d’Espanya in Palma. These trains have regular schedules but have slightly different stop times early in the morning and late at night. The earliest train leaves Palma at 5:46 AM and the latest at 10:20 PM.

They have different schedules on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays as well. On these days, the earliest train leaves Palma at 6:10 AM and the latest at 10:10 PM.

Because all three trains share a line for part of their length before splitting and also share the line with the M2 metro line, it can sometimes be confusing which to catch. Before diving into each line, I’ll simplify things by telling you can catch any of the trains (excluding the M2 metro) if you’re going to the following towns:

• Santa Maria

If you’re going to another stop, you’ll have to find the specific line that covers it.

T1 – Tren Inca

The T1 train travels from Palma to Inca and back without going any farther. Unlike the T3 train, it also stops at every metro stop between Palma and Marratxi, meaning it takes six or seven minutes longer to reach Marratxí and the towns afterwards than the direct T3 line.

During the main part of the day from Monday to Friday, T1 leaves the Estació Intermodal in Palma at 10 minutes to every hour and arrives in Inca at 24 minutes after the hour. It then leaves Inca at 36 minutes after every hour and arrives in Palma at 10 minutes after the next hour. Like all the trains, it has different hours early in the morning and late at night. T1 doesn’t run on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.

T2 – Tren Sa Pobla

The T2 train follows the same line as T1 to Inca stopping at all the metro stops. It then continues on to Enllaç, a platform where you have to change trains to follow the line to its final three stops:

In other words, if you want to go to any of those three towns, this train is your only option. It leaves the Estació Intermodal in Palma at 32 minutes after every hour and takes 52 minutes to reach Sa Pobla, arriving at 24 minutes after the next hour. It then leaves Sa Pobla every hour on the hour and arrives in Palma at 10 till.

T3 – Tren Manacor

Unlike the other two trains, T3 normally skips the metro stops except early in the morning, late at night, and on weekends and holidays. Instead, it goes from the Estació Intermodal in Palma directly to Marratxí. Like T2, it then continues past Inca to Enllaç to where you have to change trains to go on to:

In this case, T3 is the only way to visit these three towns. T3 leaves Palma at 17 minutes after each hour and travels 59 minutes before arriving in Manacor at 16 minutes after the next hour. It then leaves Manacor at 25 minutes after each hour and gets back to Palma at 24 minutes after the next hour.

Mallorca TIB Timetable

As of August 2022, this is the official train timetable as per TIB. Pay close attention to the differing times in the morning and at night as well as the separate schedule for Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.

Train by Stop

When I first moved to Mallorca, the stand-alone timetable was a bit confusing. Personally, I find it easier to determine which stop you need to go to and then check which of the trains will get you there. To help with that, I created this handy chart.

Mallorca’s 2 Metro Lines

Mallorca has two train lines that TIB refers to as “metro” lines. In reality, they aren’t much like urban mass transit rail because it only comes every 30-40 minutes. However, because the two lines briefly overlap along with the T1 and T2 train lines, you can often use it to easily travel to stops between Palma and Marratxí.

M1 – UIB

The M1 runs from the Estació Intermodal in Palma to the Universitat de les Illes Balears (UIB). Monday-Friday it leaves Palma every 30 minutes starting at 6:35 AM. At 5:05 PM this changes to every 40 minutes. On Saturdays it runs from 7 AM-2 PM every hour, and it doesn’t run on Sundays.

The M1 follows the train line until Son Costa where it branches off and takes other stops until it reaches the UIB. All its stops include:

• Palma (Estació Intermodal)
• Jacint Verdaguer
• Son Costa/Son Fortesa
• Son Fuster Vell
• Son Castelló
• Gran Via Asima
• Camí dels Reis
• Son Sardina

The M1 is the ony way to reach the above stops from Son Fuster Vell to the UIB.

M2 – Marratxí

The M2 runs the same line as the train. In fact, it makes all the same stops as the T1 and T2 trains until it reaches Marratxí, after which it turns around and goes back to the Estació Intermodal. For this reason, if you catch the T3 train from Manacor and need to stop at one of the stops in between Marratxí and Palma, you’ll need to get off in Marratxí and catch the M2.

You can check times for the M2 on the main train timetable.

TIB’s Extensive and Confusing Bus Network in Mallorca

While Mallorca’s train network is somewhat limited, only taking you to a handful of places, you can get to a much larger number of towns by TIB bus. However, these bus lines don’t generally make loops or connections. Instead, the vast majority leave from the Estació Intermodal in Palma and go to a specific destination via a number of stops and then return. Some buses leave from other TIB stations accessible by train or other bus lines.

The bus lines all have a three digit number that reflects the region of their destination. For example, all 200 lines go to the Tramuntana mountains, 203 traveling between Palma and Port de Sóller specifically.

The problem is that you may want to go to a stop on one of the lines and not the final destination, in which case the regional numbers aren’t necessarily helpful. Instead, you’ll just have to look at the map.

Once you’ve determined your route, you can look up the lines on TIB’s website to find times. You can also use their search tool to determine a route, but honestly, Google Maps works better.

Some Routes Require Reservation!

I learned this the hardway, the way that means you have to hitch hike across Es Pla in 85-degreee weather. Some infrequent routes, like Sineu-Sant Joan, only run if someone requests them the day prior. When looking up the routes, check for this fine print.

TIB Is Not the Same as EMT!

The TIB buses, the big red and yellow ones, make a few stops in Palma, but intracity travel is mostly handled by Empresa Municipal de Transportes de Palma de Mallorca (EMT). These are the smaller blue and green buses you see around the city.

You can connect between the two networks at the Estació Intermodal and in some cases use your TIB intermodal card, but they’re otherwise two entirely separate networks. Transport cards and payment are handled separately. EMT has its own app and website .

Don’t worry. If you need to learn how to navigate the EMT bus network, we have a guide for that as well.

How to Get a Ticket for the TIB Train or Bus

You can buy train tickets at vending machines or the ticket counter inside the Estació Intermodal across from Plaza España where you can pay with cash and bank cards. You can also buy train tickets online .

For the buses, you can purchase tickets from the driver on the bus itself, but TIB offers a 40% discount to buy the tickets online since it saves the bus time.

Ticket Prices

Single-trip tickets for the trains, metro lines and buses depend on the number of salts , or hops, you’re taking. Basically, this means how far you’re going. The salts are based on this map:

Traveling from one color-coded region to another is a salt, so traveling from Santa Maria to Sa Pobla is one salt while Palma to Alcúdia is four salts, the maximum. However, if you go from Palma to Marratxí, you stay in the same region, so it’s 0 salts.

Single-trip tickets don’t include connections, so if, for example, you ride the train to Sineu and then catch the bus to Maria de la Salut, you’ll have to buy a separate bus ticket.

Train Ticket Prices

Bus ticket prices, how to get your intermodal card.

The TIB targeta intermodal , or intermodal card, is a great alternative if you plan to use the train or bus frequently to get around Mallorca. Not only does it allow you to more easily board the trains or buses since you merely have to scan the card instead of buying a ticket, but it provides a discount depending on your profile:

To get an intermodal card, you’ll have to go to the customer service office the the Estació Intermodal or the other service points around the island. I’ll forewarn you that you usually have to wait in line for a while. You’ll need the following documentation for a General or Youth card:

• Original and photocopy of ID (DNI, NIE or passport)
• If your ID doesn’t have a Mallorcan address: Certificate of registration ( Certificado de empadromiento )
• A colored passport photo

Your first intermodal card is free, but a duplicate costs €8.

A Guide To Riding The Historic Soller Mallorca Train & Tram | Spain

A fun thing to do in Mallorca (Majorca) is to ride the historic Palma to Soller train. It’s a 27km journey through the Serra de Tramuntana mountains on a wooden train that dates back to 1912 . The train passes through 13 tunnels and rattles over bridges and viaducts with views of forests and orange groves on the journey to/from Soller. Then continue on to Port de Soller via the tram . Here’s what to expect riding the Soller Mallorca train!

Where does the soller train go.

I rode the Soller tram and train as part of a full Mallorca day trip and actually did the journey in reverse. When on a tour they can run in either direction, similar to if the trip is taken independently. I first took the tram from Port de Soller to Soller and then the train from Soller to Palma.

The Palma to Soller train can be boarded in Plaza de España in Palma . However if travelling as part of a coach trip in high season, it actually starts/finishes in Sa Indioteria about 5km outside of Palma. This is because there’s plenty of space for the buses to wait. There’s a bar and pay toilets (50 cents) at this location.

The station in Soller is also located at the ‘Plaza de España’, a short walk from the Plaza Constitución. At the bottom of the steps leading to the train platform is the tram station, so it’s not hard to miss!

There’s also a stop at Bunyola on the Palma to Soller train route, but when travelling as part of an organised tour, we were told to stay on board until we reached the coach park.

The wooden trains are lit with lamps and have metal and leather seats. In the summer season, the sash windows are wide open, allowing air to circulate. However it’s important to keep all heads and arms INSIDE the carriages, as the walls of the tunnels get very close to the sides of the trains.

One of the longest tunnels on the Palma to Soller train line is nicknamed ‘500’. This is because the tunnel is 500m/half a km long . As you can image, without the light from the lamps, you’d be in complete darkness! The longest tunnel is 2900m and takes almost 6 minutes to pass though!

Personally I think for the best views, when travelling in the direction to Soller, sit on the lefthand side of the train (in the direction of travel). If travelling the route in reverse, heading to Palma, the righthand side has the best views.

It’s a bit disorientating leaving Soller and heading towards Palma as the valley is on one side of the train, but then you go through a tunnel, do almost 180º and suddenly it appears on the opposite side! So for views of Soller, everyone gets to enjoy it, regardless of the side you end up sitting on!

The Palma to Soller train takes approximately 1 hour . There are 6 departures a day from both Palma and Soller.

Things To Do In Soller

Is Soller worth visiting? I liked it! Of course one of the best things to do in Soller is riding the historic train. So it’s a trip that’s very much about the journey as well as the destination.

The region around Soller is known for growing oranges and lemons . They were a big export in the 19th century, with the whole ‘Vall de Soller’ being full of orange trees. Today, several of the cafes and restaurants serve freshly squeezed Soller oranges, so make sure to enjoy a cup! I bought mine from an ice cream shop close to the train station!

A short walk from the ‘Ferrocarril de Sóller’ station is the Plaza Constitución . Here you’ll find the parish church of Sant Bartomeu de Sóller. Next door is the bank of Soller, built in a similar style…possibly the fanciest branch of Santander that I’ve ever come across!

Around the plaza are lots of cafes and restaurants with outside seating. Even on a dry day, I found the tiles around the fountain in the centre of the square to be very slippery, so be careful when walking in this area!

Carrer de Sa Lluna is a narrow pedestrian street leading off from the the Plaza Constitución. This is main shopping street in Soller with lots of the typical tourist gift shops. During my visit there were lots of dream catchers hanging up between the buildings.

Port de Soller Tram

From Soller, take the tram to Port de Soller . The tram runs more frequently than the train, with 23 departures a day from both Soller and the port of Soller. They leave almost every hour and 30 minutes past the hour and take around 20 minutes to do the 5km route . There are several stops along the route as locals use it for transportation, as well as the tourists.

Soller Tram Timetable (First & Last Departures)

During the summer months they have a few fully open sided trams in operation. Because the tram acts like a bus, they can sometimes be quite full with people standing for the journey. They also have wooden bench seats.

Similar to the train, the Soller tram dates back to 1913 and has wooden carriages. The tramway was once used for transporting cargo between the port and the town which is further inland. For example, oranges were taken from the groves to the port to be shipped to France and fish from the port was brought back to the town.

Leaving Soller, the tram has similar views to the train, passing through countryside with many orange and lemon trees. Once it reaches the port of Soller, it then follows the promenade along Soller Playa to Port Soller Marina. The main station is behind Restaurants Mar y Sol.

At Port de Soller, along with the main stretch of beach you’ll find many restaurants, cafes and tourist shops. As part of my Mallorca day trip, I had a boat trip along the northern coastline to Sa Calobra . The boat trip to Sa Calobra takes around 40 minutes.

Is the train to Sóller worth it?

I think the train to Sóller is worth it, especially when combined with the tram. (And even better as part of the full day island tour). It’s unique riding on wooden trains that date back over 100 years and you get to sit back and enjoy the scenery passing by the carriage windows. Don’t miss out on having fresh orange juice in Sóller!

Hells Angels biker gang is terrorising holidaymakers in Majorca

Share this with

Hells Angels have terrified holidaymakers in Majorca, with many tourists and locals saying they ‘live in fear’ of the gang.

The leader of the gang is German Frank Hanebuth, who first began terrorising the region in 2013, when he became president of the local Hells Angels chapter.

Now a decade on, Hanebuth and his gang have been accused of extortion – as he and his colleague were recently arrested after beating a local restaurant owner in Palma.

Hanebuth and his second in command were accused of demanding €10,000 from the restaurant owner, and grabbing his €7,000 gold chain.

But now Hanebuth is back on the streets, terrifying residents and tourists alike, with one German tourist telling Ultima Hora he fears the group will rule the entire area.

He said: ‘The Hell’s Angels want to rule the entire area and I get the feeling that all this is going to get worse. We knew it was going to happen again. We hope that a remedy is found.’

The gang receives most of its revenue from prostitution, according to prosecutors, by allegedly coercing women to work in brothels and making them undergo plastic surgery.

They’ve also moved into real estate and the drug trade to target foreigners – and the Majorca chapter of Hells Angels is mainly German, but also includes foreigners from the Dominican Republic and Britain.

One restaurant owner told Ultima Hora: ‘They come to a bar, consume and don’t pay. If you tell them something they threaten you, it is unbearable.’

And the business owner who was recently attacked told local media Hanebuth threatened him saying: ‘If you want to keep the shop open, you have to pay us 10,000 euros. If you don’t pay, you’ll get in a lot of trouble.

‘The damage, apart from the physical injuries , is very large. Our customers, the vast majority of whom are German vacationers and residents , are afraid to come to our restaurant. They are afraid that there could be further robberies and attacks.’ 

The Hells Angels Motorcycle Club was formed in the United States in 1948 and has some 5,000 members at about 350 branches – dubbed ‘chapters’ – around the world, where they wreak havoc on innocent people.

A ride across passages of history - Moscow Metro rolls on

Click on the map to enlarge it

Lying at a depth of 5 (Pechatniki station) to 80 metres (Park Pobedy station), the history of the last eight decades unfold before your eyes, carved out of marble and granite and built in iron and glass – revealing the tastes, ideas, dreams, hopes and disappointments of the previous generations and contemporaries. The Moscow Metro dates back to 1931, when its construction first began, although engineers Pyotr Balinsky and Evgeny Knorre submitted their first designs to the Moscow City Duma as far back as 1902. “His speeches carried a strong temptation: like a true demon, he would promise to cast Moscow down to the bottom of the sea and raise it above the clouds”, a journalist for the Russkoye Slovo newspaper commented on Balinsky’s idea. Yet the Duma, made up of rich people, did not bite the bait: after all, they all lived in the centre of the city and never rode overcrowded trams.

After five failed proposals before the Duma, the Moscow Metro finally threw open its doors on May 15, 1935, 18 years after the revolution, and carried the first passengers on its moving staircases, escalators, and the padded seats of its new wagons (unlike the wooden seats in trams). The first metro line – from Sokolniki to Dvorets Sovetov (now known as Kropotkinskaya) -- was 11 km long and had 13 stations. Now, the Moscow Metro has a track of over 300 km with 12 lines and 182 stations. The city’s development outline for 2020 envisages that, by then, another 120 km will have been added to the existing routes.

For the first 20 years of its history, the Moscow Metro was named after Lazar Kaganovich, the “iron commissar” and Stalin’s right hand man, who was in-charge of construction of the first stage of the metro (incidentally, he personally blew up the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in December 1931 as a part of the Proletarian Capital project). In 1955, however, the Metro was renamed after Vladimir Lenin. Although Russia has long since changed its political track, you can still find the images of the former leader at over 10 stations, including, for instance, busts of Lenin at Belorusskaya and Komsomolskaya stations, impressive mosaics at Baumanskaya and Kievskaya stations, a tile panel in the passage between the Borovitskaya and Biblioteka Imeni Lenina stations. By a bitter irony of fate, Lenin’s full-face and side-face images decorate the Tsaritsyno (translated as the Tsarina’s Estate) station (dubbed Lenino up until 1990) – images of the very person who ordered the shooting of the royal family. You will not, however, find any images of Stalin in Moscow’s underground. A symbol of Russia's victory, he was omnipresent in the late 1940s. After his death in 1953 and the denunciation of Stalin’s personality cult, his images were gradually withdrawn from the Moscow Metro.

“Architecture developed along the same lines, both above and below the surface. Anything that emerged above ground had a reflection underground. It is equally true that vice versa never occurred: good architecture underground but bad architecture above the ground,” says Nikolay Shumakov, chief architect of the Moscow Metro. The first metro stations, up until the mid-1950s, were conceived and built as luxurious “palaces for the people”, great architecture for a great state. Art historians insist that the richly-decorated underground was a deliberate ideological move to eulogise the young Soviet country. Stations built between 1937 and 1955 are characteristic of the first architectural period. Everything completed at this time is worthy of special attention. For instance, look at the ceiling at Mayakovskaya and Novokuznetskaya stations to see mosaic panels based on designs by artist Alexander Deineka – 24-Hour Soviet Sky and Heroic Labour of the Soviet People on the Home Front. The mosaics were assembled by famous mosaic artist Vladimir Frolov, author of the mosaic icons in St. Petersburg’s Church of the Saviour on Blood. The Ploshchad Revolutsii station was decorated with 76 bronze sculptures of workers, soldiers, farmers, students and other Soviet people. You can even find a frontier guard with a dog and rub its nose for good luck. You may also note that all the figures (except pioneers) are either sitting or bent, which engendered the sad joke – “Any Soviet man is either in jail or on his knees.”

1955 heralded the end of the good times for Russian architecture – both underground and above ground – after the Communist Party issued a decree "On elimination of extravagance in design and construction.” Dull stations, without any stucco work, mosaics, original columns or other “unjustified” elements, were built under the slogan “Kilometres at the expense of architecture”. Things were the same above the ground, where entire cities were built of commonplace five-storey apartment blocks, all looking the same, nicknamed ‘Khrushchevkas’ after the then leader, Nikita Khrushchev. To get a sense of this period’s architecture, see the few stations built in the 1960s-1980s like Tverskaya, Kitay-Gorod and Kolomenskaya. In 2002, with the reconstruction of the Vorobyovy Gory station, the development of the Moscow Metro entered a third stage, which could be defined as ‘renaissance’. The platform of the station offers a splendid view of the Moskva River, the Luzhniki Olympic Complex and the Academy of Sciences building. Architectural canons of the 1930s-1940s were once again in use in the design of underground stations. By the same token, artists once again become involved in decorating the stations. As such, the Sretensky Bulvar station boasts silhouettes of Pushkin, Gogol, and Timiryazev and Moscow sights; the Dostoevskaya station is decorated with black-and-white panels featuring the main characters from Dostoyevsky’s novels The Idiot, Demons, Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, and the Maryina Roshcha station flaunts its pastoral mosaic landscapes. In 2004, Russia's first monorail transport system was launched into service – an elevated track (running 6 to 12 metres above the ground) in the northern part of Moscow, linking the All-Russian Exhibition Centre and the Timiryazevskaya metro station. The evolution of the Moscow Metro goes on. It’s still a work in progress, with ambitious plans to move the Moscow Metro even closer to passengers over the next ten years, not just by adding an extra 120 km to its total track. “We want to strip the stations of everything we can,” says Nikolai Shumakov. “We are trying to show the passengers their very framework, what the metro is made of. Cast iron and concrete are beautiful.”

With any luck, you can ride in a retro train, a moving art gallery or a library. The trains are actually a part of the general traffic (i.e., they do not run to any special schedule) and are used on certain lines.

Circle Line. The Poetry in Metro Train carries an exposition, updated this year, dedicated to Italian poets Dante Alighieri, Francesco Petrarch, Giacomo Leopardi, etc. All the poems are featured in two languages, Russian and Italian. Filevskaya Line. The Sokolniki Retro Train looks exactly like the first Moscow Metro train, both inside and out. Painted brown, it has padded seats, typical wall decorations and retro lamps. Sokolnicheskaya Line. The Aquarelle Train looks like a cabinet painted with flowers and fruit on the outside. Inside, it is an art gallery featuring art reproductions from the Vyatka Apollinary and Viktor Vasnetsov Art Museum. Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Line.

Revolution Square station (built in 1938) is close to the Red Square area. There are 72 sculptures in the station, depicting the people of the Soviet Union, including soldiers, farmers, athletes, writers, industrial workers and school children.

Trump promotes Lee Greenwood's 'God Bless The USA Bible': What to know about the book and its long journey

• Former president Donald Trump encourages supporters to buy Lee Greenwood's "God Bless The USA Bible," a project inspired by Nashville country musician's hit song.
• Resurgent version of Greenwood's Bible project a modified version from original concept, a change that likely followed 2021 shake-up in publishers.

After years with few updates about Lee Greenwood’s controversial Bible, the project is again resurgent with a recent promotion by former President Donald Trump.

“All Americans need to have a Bible in their home and I have many. It’s my favorite book,” Trump said in a video posted to social media Tuesday, encouraging supporters to purchase the “God Bless The USA Bible.” “Religion is so important and so missing, but it’s going to come back.”

Greenwood — the Nashville area country musician whose hit song “God Bless the USA” inspired the Bible with a similar namesake — has long been allies with Trump and other prominent Republicans, many of whom are featured in promotional material for the “God Bless The USA Bible.” But that reputational clout in conservative circles hasn’t necessarily translated to business success in the past, largely due to a major change in the book’s publishing plan.

Here's what to know about the Bible project’s journey so far and why it’s significant it’s back in the conservative limelight.

An unordinary Bible, a fiery debate

The “God Bless The USA Bible” received heightened attention since the outset due to its overt political features.

The text includes the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence, Pledge of Allegiance, and the lyrics to the chorus to Greenwood’s “God Bless The USA.” Critics saw it as a symbol of Christian nationalism, a right-wing movement that believes the U.S. was founded as a Christian nation.

A petition emerged in 2021 calling Greenwood’s Bible “a toxic mix that will exacerbate the challenges to American evangelicalism.” From there, a broader conversation ensued about the standards by which publishers print Bibles.

Gatekeeping in Bible publishing

Greenwood’s early business partner on the project, a Hermitage-based marketing firm called Elite Source Pro, initially reached a manufacturing agreement with the Nashville-based HarperCollins Christian Publishing to print the “God Bless The USA Bible.”  

As part of that agreement, HarperCollins would publish the book but not sell or endorse it. But then HarperCollins reversed course , a major setback for Greenwood’s Bible.

The reversal by HarperCollins followed a decision by Zondervan — a publishing group under HarperCollins Christian Publishing and an official North American licensor for Bibles printed in the New International Version translation — to pass on the project. HarperCollins said the decision was unrelated to the petition or other public denunciations against Greenwood’s Bible.

The full backstory: Lee Greenwood's 'God Bless the USA Bible' finds new printer after HarperCollins Christian passes

A new translation and mystery publisher

The resurgent “God Bless The USA Bible” featured in Trump’s recent ad is an altered version of the original concept, a modification that likely followed the publishing shake-up.

Greenwood’s Bible is now printed in the King James Version, a different translation from the original pitch to HarperCollins.

Perhaps the biggest mystery is the new publisher. That manufacturer is producing a limited quantity of copies, leading to a delayed four-to-six weeks for a copy to ship.  

It’s also unclear which business partners are still involved in the project. Hugh Kirkman, who led Elite Service Pro, the firm that originally partnered with Greenwood for the project, responded to a request for comment by referring media inquiries to Greenwood’s publicist.

The publicist said Elite Source Pro is not a partner on the project and the Bible has always been printed in the King James Version.

"Several years ago, the Bible was going to be printed with the NIV translation, but something happened with the then licensor and the then potential publisher. As a result, this God Bless The USA Bible has always been printed with the King James Version translation," publicist Jeremy Westby said in a statement.

Westby did not have the name of the new licensee who is manufacturing the Bible.

Trump’s plug for the “God Bless The USA Bible” recycled language the former president is using to appeal to a conservative Christian base.

“Our founding fathers did a tremendous thing when they built America on Judeo-Christian values,” Trump said in his video on social media. “Now that foundation is under attack perhaps as never before.”
