Vintage tram at the Port de Soller village. The tram operates a 5kms service from the railway station in the Soller village to the Puerto de Soller, Soller Majorca, Balearic Islands, Spain, Mediterranean, Europe. The Tranvía de Sóller or Tramvia de Sóller is a Spanish heritage tramway serving the town of Sóller and the coastal village of Port de Sóller, in the island of Majorca. It is owned by Ferrocarril de Sóller (FS), the same company operating the heritage rail line linking the town to the city of Palma. The Soller tramway line, which was designed and constructed by the engineer Pedro Garau, opened on 4 October 1913 shortly after the inauguration of Palma-Sóller rail line, and started regular service on 13 October of that year. Electrified from the start of operation, the line is km long, has a single track with passing loops and runs on 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge tracks. It is a popular tourist attraction, especially since the early 2000s, as it uses attractive heritage rolling stock. In 2010 it carried approximately 900,000 passengers
