The valley of Sóller through the year: almond blossom on the left, the olive terraces and the sea in the middle, ripe oranges under a low sun on the right
When to come

Every month here has a reason of its own

Most guests come in summer, which is understandable, but it is not the only right answer. In February the almond trees blossom while central Europe is still in winter. In April and October you walk at fifteen to twenty degrees, whereas in August those same paths in the midday heat are no pleasure. In May the corsairs land on the beach, in December the oranges hang ripe in the groves and at midnight mass a child sings a song from the ninth century. This page sorts it all by month, so that you can see when the valley is doing exactly what you are looking for.

The fixed dates come from the town's own calendar and repeat year after year. If you need it more precisely, concerts or exhibitions in the week you are travelling, just ask Paula. She knows what is on, and that is in no calendar.

On right now

Coming up over the next few weeks

These dates are announced on top of the fixed rhythm of the year, and they stay here only while they are current. After that they drop off by themselves. The list is not complete, because a good deal in the valley is only announced two or three weeks ahead; Paula will know more for the week you are coming.

Wednesdays until 15 October

Festival Internacional de Música de Deià

Deià, Son Marroig among others

The neighbouring village's music festival continues its 58th season until mid-October, on Wednesdays at 6pm and 7.30pm, half an hour away along the coast road.

The calendar

Every year in the valley of Sóller

January

The quietest chapter of the year. It is mild in the valley, there can be snow on the tops, and towards the end of the month the first almond trees open.

  • 6 January: Els Reis, the Three Kings process through the town with carts full of presents
  • 17 January: Sant Antoni, big fires burn in the neighbourhoods the evening before, then the animals are blessed
  • 20 January: Sant Sebastià, with fires, dancing and old songs in the lanes

May

The strongest month in the valley. The weather has opened up, the sea becomes swimmable, and in the second week the whole town re-enacts the battle of 1561.

  • Second Sunday in May: the Fira
  • The Monday after: Es Firó, the landing of the corsairs on the beach at Port de Sóller
  • Corpus Christi, May or June: a procession over carpets of flowers laid by the neighbours themselves

August

High summer, and the town celebrates its patron saint. There is something going on for most of the month.

  • 15 August: the patronal festival in the mountain village of Biniaraix
  • 24 August: Sant Bartomeu, the great festival week of Sóller

September

For many people the best month of all. The sea is at its warmest, the crowds have gone, and the evenings turn pleasantly cool again.

  • Early September: Festes de Fornalutx, the village fiesta in the mountain village, with the Davallada del Bou at first light
  • Fira de la Mar, workshops and craft markets around the sea
  • Classical music festival in Port de Sóller, September and October

November

The olive harvest, the first fires in the hearths, and the town starts cooking.

  • 1 November: Tots Sants, the day on which the cemetery of Sóller is particularly beautifully dressed
  • Fira Gastronòmica de la Tardor with Swingtast: craft market, local producers and dancing in the street

December

The oranges are ripe, the slopes glow, and the town keeps Christmas in a way all its own.

  • Fira de la Il·lusió: crafts and local produce on the Plaça Constitució and in the Carrer de la Lluna
  • 24 December: at midnight mass a child sings the Cant de la Sibil·la, a song from the late ninth century
  • 31 December: on the Plaça the whole town eats twelve grapes to the twelve strokes of the bell
