Coll de Soller
This route is also one of the favourites for cycling lovers, as it is one of the most paradisiacal mountain road routes on the island. Coll de Sóller route is quite steep in both directions, but it becomes more complicated if you travel south, which is why at Hotel Sant Jordi we recommend starting the route from this part.
