The historic electric train takes a route north from the capital across the plains, winding through mountains and 13 tunnels of the Serra de Tramuntana, finally ending in the large railway station of the northern town of Sóller.

[2] At the official prices charged at the station, single tickets from Palma to Sóller or vice versa cost €18 (2018), and returns are €25.

The station is just off the Plaça de Espanya and borders a large and popular park which lies on top of the underground Estació Intermodal.

Several old railway buildings (one with a large brick chimney) lie untouched in the park and there are several train-themed play structures, each one a carriage named after a settlement along the line.

As of August 2019[update] a local tour operator and restaurateur and a company that runs boat trips around the north-east of the island are the two largest shareholders.
