Why you’ll love this…

On this exclusive National Geographic Day Tour, you'll embrace Mallorca's vibrant scenery as you explore Sóller's Valley of the Oranges and learn about the town's citrus varieties.
A National Geographic-trained guide will lead the tour, a biology specialist to show you the botanical garden of Soller contains the largest collection of floral specimens across the Balearic archipelago.
You'll uncover the region's conservation initiatives aimed at preserving the Mediterranean landscape as you visit the Balearic Museum of Natural Sciences and Sóller's citrus-infused Botanical Gardens.
Experience a cooking demonstration featuring a zesty dessert, then treat yourself to a sweet scoop of citrus-flavoured gelato from the historic ice cream parlour, Sa Fàbrica de Gelats.

What to expect

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, visiting the Balearic Museum of Natural Sciences for an exclusive 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 botanical properties of different citrus varieties, enjoy an exclusive visit to the seed bank and learn more about the museum's work to conserve the Balearic Islands' plant species, unique ecosystems and natural habitats. Finish 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.
