Questions and answers
What makes Sóller oranges special?
They grow on terraces irrigated by springs, and the symbol is the canoneta variety, sweet and juicy; the tradition of growing in the valley goes back more than seven centuries.
When is the orange season?
Most varieties are harvested until March, but in Sóller the harvest lasts longer, even into August; the canoneta reaches peak ripeness in summer.
How do I get to Sóller without a car?
By the vintage train from Palma to Sóller and from there by tram to the port; in the summer season it is the most convenient option, because parking can be difficult.
