Sollerich, apart from the main houses, is a valley of about 700h through which there are numerous paths created for the old oil production. They lead to other small farms associated with the main houses. Each of them, with their houses, from which these different areas were worked: "Oli Clar", "Sa Casa Nova", "Sa Font Figuera"... Nowadays, they represent very interesting routes with spectacular landscapes. In them we find corners where we can reconstruct the agricultural past of the Serra de Tramuntana: the coal silos and the huts of the charcoal makers; the lime kilns; traditional springs and water channels; the orchard houses; an old mill...
We are pleased to show our guests the corners of our "possessió" so we will facilitate the itineraries of these routes.
We can also tell you where to rent bikes, horses or hire a private mountain guide.
You can also participate in the experiences we organize monthly to show in situ the life in this "possessió".
You can also enjoy the beautiful surrounding villages: Alaró, Orient, Binissalem, Consell, Santa Maria... There you will find local markets where you can buy local and seasonal fruit and vegetables, sausages and cheeses, and traditional Mallorcan cuisine.
Sollerich
A valley to dream of
Hiking
The property is crossed by the same "Ruta de la Pedra en Sec" (GR-221 variant G) so it is ideal for hiking the "Serra de Tramuntana", which is declared a World Heritage Site. Depending on your tastes, you can follow the routes on foot, by bicycle or on horseback
ORIENT
After 8 minutes by car or 50 minutes on foot we arrive at Orient. It's like taking a trip back in time. Its stepped streets and houses of traditional construction based on sandstone and lime seem to be taken from a postcard. In total the village is made up of barely thirty houses, established along the hillside, whose final point is the church of Sant Jordi.
ALARÓ
Alaró is a nice little inland village. It is only an 8 minute drive and an hour walk from Sollerich.
The best known attraction in Alaró is the partial ruins of the Castell d'Alaró, which was built on top of the peak called "Puig Des Castell". The castle dates back to the 15th century, but comes from an earlier fortification from the time of the moors in Mallorca.
Here life moves at a slower pace giving visitors the time to admire the rustic buildings and winding streets of this isolated roma... more
BINISSALEM
In 20 minutes by car we reach Binissalem. This village is known for its good wine and for being one of the most beautiful on the island. A visit to it is essential if you want to get to know Mallorca.
The market day is on Friday and its festivities are in September. During the summer there is also a night market where you can see music and dance shows.
It is worth taking a walk around the square, visiting the church, simply strolling through its streets or visiting one of its wine cellars.
