Mallorca - train to Sóller

Still posting about Mallorca - but hey it's November and generally grey in this part of the world at the moment, which makes recalling blue skies and warmth so pleasant!

In this post I have only covered the train journey to Sóller and the exhibitions of Miró and Picasso.  For more info about the train click here or here to watch a YouTube video.  


Heading for the mountains, passing through olive groves on the way.







Views from the station stop at Bunyola.



The train stopped for a while giving us an opportunity to look down on our destination and to admire the mountains that surround Sóller.





I didn't take any photos of our approach and arrival at Sóller Station but you will find some here and Val Javin's interesting recollection here is well worth a read.

Thoroughly enjoyed the exhibitions - see the work of Joan Miró below. 





and Picasso's ceramics 






Lucky us!  Click to enlarge.  Next time I'll post about our journey on the tram from Sóller to the Port.
