Es Port Soller Hotel, 31 March 2012.

Our hotel, Es Port Soller Hotel, is an old mansion fortified in the 17th century at Puerto de Sóller at the foot of the Sierra de Tramuntana Mountains and a few metres from the Mediterranean Sea.


The original building is the entrance to the hotel

We were so lucky to get a room next to the old living room for the owner of the mansion (or Finca), that probably was an original bedroom.

First the olives have to be grinded.
Production of olive oil has been the main occupation in this part of Majorca. Every Finca has had its own equipment for the production of olive oil.
Now there is only two left in the area and they produce mainly for the local marked.
