El Tren de Soller was created to improve communication between Sóller and Palma, but it's become a trip for tourists over the years. Fifteen years ago the train had a mail wagon for goods, animals and letters. In fact the postman had it very comfortable when he was choosing the letters. I don't recommend the round trip, only go one way.
I went on the train in May with a group of 5 friends. I paid for the tickets on my debit card for all 5 of us. The guy selling tickets on the train said the payment hadn´t gone though as we were ¨"too close to a tunnel" and put the payment though again. Later that day I noticed I had been charged twice, ie for 10 return tickets rather than 5. I contacted the Tren De Soller by email but never received a reply. I then contacted them by phone - amazingly for something this touristy they claim not to speak English! I therefore spoke in Spanish and explained that they´d taken my money twice, please could they refund it. Several calls and numerous emails later I was no closer to getting my 95 euros back.
A litlle bit expensive but it’s good way to go through the Serra de Tramuntana.
