5 Days in Mallorca
Five days in the north of Mallorca: two nights in Sóller's valley of oranges, the coast road to Deià and Valldemossa, the Sa Calobra gorge, then a move to Pollença with Formentor to finish — mountain villages and coves instead of Playa de Palma.

The plan, day by day
Day 1Arriving in the Sóller valley
Arrival in Mallorca
Hotel check-in
A base in Sóller, a small town of orange groves and manor houses beyond the Tramuntana tunnel, where the coast road to Deià and the tram to the port begin.
Plaça de la Constitució in Sóller
In front of the church of Sant Bartomeu, with its sandstone façade by a pupil of Gaudí, the narrow-gauge tram crosses the square, passing right between the café tables.
Port de Sóller by historic tram
The wooden carriages from 1913 rumble through orange groves for twenty minutes down to the almost enclosed bay, lined with fishing boats and jetties.
Evening: Platja d'en Repic shore path
On the quieter south side of the bay you stroll along the strip of sand as the lights of the harbour promenade reflect in the water and the last boats come in.
Day 2Coast road to Deià and Valldemossa
Cartoixa de Valldemossa
Chopin and George Sand spent the winter of 1838 in the cells of this old charterhouse; on show are his Pleyel piano, the monastery pharmacy and the view from the gardens over the valley.
Son Marroig
Archduke Ludwig Salvator's country house stands above the cliffs, and from the white marble rotunda in the garden you look out to the pierced rock of Sa Foradada.
Cala Deià
A narrow pebble-and-rock cove at the end of a tight lane, where two simple beach restaurants stand on wooden terraces above the water between the boathouses.
Deià: cemetery on the church hill
At the top of the village, behind the church of Sant Joan Baptista, lies the cemetery where the poet Robert Graves is buried under a plain cement slab — looking over the terraced fields to the sea.
Evening: Carrer de sa Lluna in Sóller
The old shopping street leading off the main square is lit up in the evening, its ice-cream parlours, wine bars and pottery shops stay open late, and the air smells of the orange trees in the courtyards.
Day 3Hairpins, gorge and monastery
Mirador de Ses Barques
From the terrace on the Ma-10 above Sóller you can see the whole valley and the harbour bay at once, with the orange plantations as a green patch in the middle.
Nus de sa Corbata
Here the road to Sa Calobra loops under itself in a 270-degree bend — park the car and look down on the asphalt knot from above.
Mouth of the Torrent de Pareis
Two short tunnels cut into the rock lead to the pebble beach where the 200-metre walls of the gorge meet the sea.
Cala Tuent
The quieter neighbouring cove below Puig Major has coarse pebbles, hardly any facilities and the small chapel of Ermita de Sant Llorenç behind it.
Santuari de Lluc
The pilgrimage monastery in its mountain bowl is home to the black Madonna "La Moreneta", a botanical garden and the Stations of the Cross leading up to Calvary hill.
Evening: Es Través waterfront
On the north shore of Sóller's harbour bay, bars line up with views of the two lighthouses at the entrance, which flash after dark.
Day 4On to the north: Pollença and its bays
Onward to Pollença
Hotel check-in
El Calvari steps
365 cypress-lined stone steps lead from the centre up to the simple chapel with its cross, from where you look over the tiled roofs to the bay.
Pont Romà
On the northern edge of town a two-arched bridge of Roman origin spans the mostly dry Torrent de Sant Jordi.
Cala Sant Vicenç
Four small coves between rocky headlands below the cliff of Cavall Bernat — clear water, pines down to the shore and far fewer people than in Pollença Bay.
Passeig Voramar in Port de Pollença
The car-free pine walk along the water passes old summer houses, in one of which Agatha Christie set her Parker Pyne story "Problem at Pollensa Bay".
Evening: Moll Vell in Port de Pollença
In the evening you sit on the old jetty among sailing boats and fishing vessels, with the dark silhouette of the Formentor peninsula over the bay.
Day 5Formentor and farewell
Mirador Es Colomer
From the viewing platform on the Formentor road you look 200 metres straight down onto the Es Colomer rock and the jagged north coast.
Platja de Formentor
A shallow sandy beach under pines looking back to the Tramuntana mountains — in summer the boat from Port de Pollença also stops here.
