The train to Soller went through the Tramuntana mountains

Today we decided to take the train to Soller on the northwest coast. After breakfast we walked in the sun to the station for the special train. There was a long queue for tickets and then another wait for the next train. But we did get good seats and enjoyed the view on the ride through olive groves, citrus trees and mountains.

Delicious orange salad at Can Gato

In Soller we found Can Gato, a nice place for lunch down a narrow street. We sat in a fragrant courtyard and had orange salad and a cheese and ham platter, plus a glass of sangria.

Then we walked further to an art museum, Can Prunero, with varied works of modern art. We went back to the main square for coffee and looked round the elaborate church. The station also had an art exhibition of works by Picasso and Miro.

At Abaco, a lovely bar

We took the crowded train back to Palma. Later we found Abaco, a bar said to be one of the 'nicest places in the world' and had a glass of wine.

Then we found a nearby La Taperia and had a delicious dinner of several shared dishes. We walked back to the hotel feeling rather tired.
