First opened in 1912, the Soller Railway offers the best way to see Majorca - taking in the olive groves of the South West right through to the stunning Tramuntana Mountains. The train is a grand and impeccably well-maintained example of early 20th century design and the journey offers some unforgettable views and the chance to experience some genuine 'old world' charm. The route begins in Palma City centre and runs through to Puerto Soller in the North West.

Hit the cowboy trail to have some westernfun - Alcudia

At Rancho Grande you can have a day of horse riding through one of Alcudia's best country parks. Play at being a cowboy or cowgirl, wear the hats and trek off for a day of adventure. You will be treated to the Rancho barbeque whilst listening to some guitar music, and to finish the day off you will be invited to join in with the line dancing! There is also a mini zoo to amuse the children where they can get up close and personal with the tame animals. The Ranch is in Son Serra De Marina, just a few kms from the city centre of Alcudia.

Puig de Pollenca (Puig de Maria)

Situated atop a large hill (which confusingly has the same name) the Puig de Pollensa is a nun's monastery built in 1348. In fact, the monastery was still inhabited by nuns' right up until 1988. Its superb location offers unsurpassable views across the beautiful resort of Pollensa and the simple but beautiful furniture and architecture makes this a stunning place to visit for anyone visiting Majorca's picturesque North Coast.
