This self-guided audio walk explores the native and Mediterranean plant life of Sóller through the Balearic Museum of Natural Sciences and its botanical garden. It is ideal for travelers interested in nature, island landscapes, botany, and the environmental story of Mallorca. The route begins at the section on plants from torrent beds and shady mountainsides, then moves through habitats that reflect the Balearic Islands and the wider Mediterranean. Along the way, you will encounter rocky-shore vegetation, oak forest flora, and the museum spaces of the Museu Balear de Ciències Naturals, before continuing deeper into the Jardí Botànic. As the walk unfolds, the route highlights endangered local species, floral displays, and plant collections linked to islands such as Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, Malta, and Crete. The tour ends at the collection of native fruit trees and vegetables, bringing the journey from wild habitats to cultivated landscapes full circle. The most memorable moments include seeing how dramatically plant life changes between mountain shade, coast, and woodland, discovering rare species preserved in the garden, and ending among traditional edible plants that connect Mallorca’s nature with its daily life.
