The town of Sóller in the northwest of Mallorca became rich because of the valley’s ample citrus groves. In the 19th century, when the area was isolated from the rest of Mallorca by mountains, the oranges were shipped to France from the nearby coast Port de Sóller. Many locals went to work in France and returned to build some of the charming properties that grace this town today.
