How to get there

The access to  Ca s’Hereu isn't the easiest. The venue is on a hill at the end of a narrow bendy road, and part of it is unpaved. 

Although we'd love to say that you can walk up to Ca s'Hereu from the port we do not recommend that you do - it would be 15 mins walk uphill in the heat (and heels ladies!)

We are arranging small coaches (16 people each) to pick you all up from the port and take you to Ca s'Hereu. Because of the road conditions we will do several journeys, these will start at 17.00 to ensure you all arrive on time for the ceremony at 18.00.

For those of you not staying in Sóller/Puerto de Sóller, we need to ask you to please not drive up to the venue. You can park your car close to the collection point.
We will contact each of you to let you know what time we need you to be at the collection point. 

  

During the ceremony, dinner and initial hours of the party there won't be coaches back to the Port. From 1.30am until 5am there will be a shuttle bus to take you down to the collection point/your hotel. If for any reason you need to leave the venue before 1.30am we will supply you with the number of a local taxi firm to pick you up. 
Do bear in mind that this is a Spanish style party and it will go on until the small hours.

Directions to Puerto de Sóller:

From the road that links Sóller with Puerto de Sóller, take the tunnel ahead of you signposted 'Port de Sóller, Port Centre', do not take the exit 'En Repic'.

At the end of the tunnel there is a roundabout, this is the collection point for the mininuses.

Sóller & Port de Sóller

Sóller is one of Mallorca's most beatufil towns located on the north-west coast. Situated some 3 Km. inland, from its port, 'Port de Sóller', the town lies in a large, fertile, bowl-shaped valley. Sóller shares its valley with the village of Fornalutx and the hamlet of Biniaraix, the combined population is around 12,000, and the valley is famous for its orange groves and terraces of ancient olive trees.

Sóller derives its name from the Moorish word sullier which means the golden valley from its orange groves. There was a great trade of the citrus with France and it is said that the Sun King himself, Louis XIV would eat no other oranges than the ones from Sóller. Historically it was also an important weaving town. The citrus trade and the weaving industry provided for a private steam railway, carved through the mountain in the late nineteenth century connecting Sóller with Palma. An enchanting option to the new toll-road tunnel linking Sóller to Palma. A charming antique tram runs regularly between Sóller town and the Port of Sóller.

The Port is at the end of the carretera Sóller – Port; its main beach is located next to Passeig es Traves (800 metres long and 20 metres large), and it is not too crowded.
It is a natural beach with gravel and sand, quiet water and sometimes with the moderate Mediterranean breeze, not too steep slope and some water currents and torrents that flow into the sea depending on the season. Nearby there are breakwaters, jetties, clearly marked with buoys.

The Port itself, has an attractive sandy cove, or if you prefer there are both pebbled and rocky beaches. There are beach restaurants and some fine dining restaurants, unpretentious bars, beach activities, sailing, canoeing, wind surfing and boat trips. There are tennis and paddle courts, gyms, bicycles for hire and lots of other activities in and around Sóller.

Along the North Western Coastline there are also lovely coves and crystal blue water. Other popular beaches are in “Cala” (cove) Deia and Valldemossa, Sa Calobra and Cala Tuent.

The valley and its surrounding mountain range, the 'Serra de Tramuntana', a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a favourite destination for people from all over the world, especially those who enjoy walking, nature, ecotourism, swimming or simply a peaceful rest away from the hustle and bustle of the better-known tourist traps. 

 

Fornalutx and Biniaraix are the closest villages to Sóller and Port de Sóller. Other interesting villages along the North West Coast of Mallorca and nearby are Deia and Valldemossa as well as sites like, Sa Calobra, the Lluc Monastry just to mention a few.
