About Fornalutx

Fornalutx spreads across a hillside of the Serra de Tramuntana above the Sóller valley, its houses built of tan stone along stepped lanes. Orange and lemon trees fill the terraces around it, and paths lead up towards the Puig Major and down to Sóller. The port of Sóller, Deià and the coast road are close by, and Palma is a train ride away. Spring and early summer are ideal for hiking, September stays warm enough for the sea, and winter is quiet and mild.
