Port Soller has a nice beach and a pretty little harbour. There runs an antique train from Puerto de Soller to Soller. It’s worth a ride and a visit.
Today you walk a very small distance between Puerto de Soller and Soller, only about 8 km along the GR221. Take this day as a resting day and to get just a little closer to the heavier hike on day 4.
