    Soller is really getting so busy & I am glad, I want lots of people to love this place, but I have been in huge crowds of people waiting for the tram & it can be a bit like a rugby scrum. I had to pause the video at 1 minute 26 to gaze on the lovely view of Puig Major in the sun. Thanks for this beautiful video.

      I have honestly never seen it so busy Faith, and I've lived here for a long time. I'll have a video coming out about this at some point! The views are literally to die for! I always imagine myself retiring here!

    Loved this video Alex. The area you took into town was beautiful. I’ve never see it from there before. I do have to agree soller had become a victim of its own beauty.

    Lovely video, I prefer Soller town more than the port. The last time I was there was in the month of December and it was absolutely freezing, the difference when we got back into Palma was unbelievable. We went on the train which I think is expensive, going was was lovely, lovely views but coming back it was dark so a bit of a waste of money because it was pitch black. Thanks Alex.

    • @MallorcaUnderTheSun
      @MallorcaUnderTheSun  6 місяців тому +1

      The train is great to do once, but the bus is so much faster and cheaper too! And yes, Soller can have its own climate . it can be sunny over there are pouring in Palma, or visa versa!
