    It's a lovely railway, with real character, and some very impressive tunnels - I thought we were on a journey to the centre of the earth at one point.

    Did this trip last year, including the tram ride down to the harbour. Thoroughly recommended.

    You would need to very careful when using the shops in Soller as the trams run within three feet of some doorways.
