Fornalutx
A stone mountain village tucked deep in the Sóller valley, with quiet stepped lanes, often ranked among Spain's most beautiful villages.
Fornalutx lies on a hillside about 4 km east of Sóller, recognizable by its stone-slab stepped lanes, green shutters and painted roof tiles beneath the eaves. It is surrounded by citrus groves and terraces, with Puig Major, the island's highest peak, rising behind. The village is tiny and can be explored in an hour, and you can sit at a café on the small square. It is also a classic hiking starting point: follow the old path on foot to the village of Biniaraix and the Barranc de Biniaraix gorge, then descend to Sóller. From Sóller it is about an hour's walk, or you can take a taxi. If driving, note the narrow mountain roads and limited parking.
