Tranvìa de Sóller

This heritage tramway  links the town of Sóller to the small village  of  Port de Sóller on the island of Mallorca. It is one of only two first generation  preserved tramways  in Spain. The other is the Tramvia Blau in Barcelona (  https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/tramvia-blau) .

It was opened in late 1913 and has a length of just over 3 miles. The tramway was  constructed by the rail company which constructed the Ferrocarril de Sóller between Palma and Sóller which is itself nowadays  operated as a heritage system also known as the Orange Express ( https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/tren-de-soller).

There are several powered cars and trailers originating from the inception  of the  tramway in 1913 but the oldest rolling stock are open sided trailer cars which were built in 1890 and previously  operated in Palma de Mallorca. 

For tram and rail aficionados, the track gauge is 3ft and the power supply is an overhead 600V DC supply. The gauge is the same as  the Palma-Sóller railway and is the narrowest tramway guage in the country (the majority are 1000mm)

The line has 17 stops, most of them are very basic,  consisting of a raised concrete platform, but no buildings. Trams run every half hour during the day ( from 7am) and hourly after 8pm. The inland passenger terminus is just outside the entrance to the Sóller  station.  If you arive by the historic train the tram ride to the beach, on an equally  historic system, is the natural next step.
