And we know this, courtesy of the Information Service at Palma Airport. There was no direct bus to Soller because ‘that is summer only’.
In October, our plans for a few days cycling in the Alsace were scuppered by illness and we chose a simple, warmish alternative so we are back in Soller, Mallorca with Jacky and Ken.
After an early flight from Luton into Palma Airport we were looking at blue skies and warm sunshine. If only our winter was as appealing! Courtesy of an airport taxi, we were at our hotel by midday and set about reacquainting ourselves with the town.
To our delight, at the railway station, we found two small exhibition rooms, one for Joan Miro and the other filled with Picasso ceramics. The ceramics are from the private collection of Padre Josep Sert, a Mallorcan architect and contemporary of both Miro and Picasso. At the entrance to the Miro rooms, there is a poster translating some of his recurring images which made them far more interesting.
We may return, before we come home, because it turns out you can keep adults entertained for hours scouring Modernist art for ull, cor, pits and boca (hint: a Catalan translation will help).
We have views of the Tramuntana mountains from both our balconies, the weather is looking rather grim tomorrow so this could be the last we see of these for while.
Should you ever visit Soller, we recommend an evening at C’an Limona – freshly prepared food with home made pasta and a quirky setting.
