Fornalutx

A stone village among terraced orange groves above the Sóller valley, about 3 km from the town. 743 people live here (1 January 2025); the access is a narrow road, so it is easier to take bus 232 from Port de Sóller. There is no weekly market of its own.

Getting there

  • By car from Palma: about 35 min, 27.1 km (our own measurement on the OSM road network, without traffic; method)
  • From Sóller, about 3 km uphill; the road is narrow and steep, and in one place only one vehicle wide.
  • Parking: Two public car parks, one paid with a 2-hour limit, free on Sundays according to the catalogue entry; spaces are few, so it is best to arrive in the morning.
  • Restrictions: Narrow access; vehicles larger than a car have difficulty.
  • Without a car: stop Fornalutx, about 302 m on foot (about 4 min), lines 232 (GTFS CTM; all places without a car)

Questions and answers

Is there a market in Fornalutx and when?

No, the village has no weekly market (it is not in the three listings we checked). The nearest is the Saturday market in Sóller, about 3 km away, and on Thursdays a smaller one in Port de Sóller.

Where can I park in Fornalutx?

The mallorca.com catalogue lists a multi-level car park: the blue spaces on the lower levels are paid (free on Sundays), the white spaces on the upper levels are free. The access is narrow and spaces are few, so arrive in the morning or take bus 232 from Sóller.

How do I get from Palma to Fornalutx without a car?

By TIB bus 204 from the Intermodal station to Sóller (about 28-40 min), then line 232 from Sóller to Fornalutx (about 30 services on a weekday in both directions, winter).

When is the quietest time to visit Fornalutx?

Editorial assessment, not measured: Tuesday to Thursday in the morning and late afternoon, and out of season; the village is small and fills up quickly when a few coaches arrive.
