We echo all the good things written about Lidia as a super host. The area is the best of both worlds: a quiet laid-back small town with nearby access: by local bus to Palma - ~10 minutes, 1.50€; from bus station at Plac d'Espana to Valledemossa, 30 minutes, 1.85€ (pay for tickets when boarding); from antique train station at Plac d'Espana to Sóller (1 hour), then tram to Port de Sóller (10 minutes) round trip, 32.00€. We enjoyed Lidia's recommendation of Ola del Mar so much the first night, we went again our last night - great seafood! Sandwiches at Le Madeleine de Proust and ice cream at Giovanni L. are worth the stop. And if you don't get olives with your order, be sure to ask for them - delicioso!
