What to expect

Picturesque hills and aromatic citrus orchards best describe Sóller. From Palma de Mallorca, travel into the Serra de Tramontana mountains, where you'll discover this eye-catching town, nicknamed the 'Valley of Oranges'.

Historically, Sóller was isolated from the rest of Mallorca due to its mountains, allowing the development of unique cultural and agricultural practices. Sóller's orange groves trace their roots back several centuries, introduced to the region by Arab settlers during the Spanish occupation.

On this exclusive tour, you'll uncover the region's conservation initiatives with your National Geographic-trained guide. In a room at the Botanical Gardens you'll enjoy an audio-visual experience including photos illustrating the history of the orange groves and their impact on Sóller's local economy.

After this, tour Sóller's citrus-infused Botanical Gardens, where you'll study the aromatic and agricultural properties of different citrus varieties, enjoy an exclusive visit to the seed bank and learn more about the garden's work to conserve the Balearic Islands' plant species, unique ecosystems and natural habitats. Finish your time here with a cooking demo featuring a zesty dessert with a citrus tang.

Next, discover Sóller's secrets on a guided walking tour, before stopping by Sa Fàbrica de Gelats, an ice cream Parlor featured in National Geographic España as one of the best spots for orange-flavoured gelato. Finish with some free time to explore at your leisure.

Palma Christmas tour and coca de Nadal sweetbread tasting

Palma de Mallorca isn't just a summer paradise, it has a cosy winter side, too. You'll find out for yourself on this Christmas tour, which takes you from the quiet of the Basilica de Sant Francesc to a spot that serves coca de Nadal, the island's festive pastry. The tour continues with Palma's nativity scenes, where you'll uncover even more local traditions. The final stop is a relaxed walk down Las Ramblas, a tree-lined boulevard in the city centre where you can soak up the city's holiday atmosphere before returning to your hotel.

Majorcan breakfast at Rancho Grande

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so do it in true Spanish style on the sprawling countryside estate of Rancho Grande. You'll sit out on the sun-soaked terrace and pick from a menu that champions local Majorcan flavours. For the more adventurous foodies, you can try options like butifarrón, a local offal delicacy, sobrasada, a traditional cured sausage, or caminates, a tomato pig trotter dish. And, if you're prefer sticking to a more tried and tested menu, you can tuck into rustic bread topped with smoked salmon, eggs and avocado, ham and cheese, or suckling pork chops from the ranch's herd of heritage breed black Majorcan pigs.
