  • In 1913 the first electric streetcar line of Mallorca was inaugurated between Sóller and Port de Sóller.
    The Sóller Tramway began to be built after the inauguration of the railroad line from Palma to Sóller. The project of this line was designed D. Pedro Garau. 4,868 meters of track were laid. The iron bridge over the "Torrent Major" was built by the Maquinista Terrestre y Marítima.
    The streetcar initially had its own power station located in the Sóller station. It was powered by a 65-horsepower explosion engine that drove a dynamo of the house Siemens-Schuckert, DC 600 volts.
    Although the Sóller tramway was intended for passenger transport, it was also used for freight traffic to the port. In a small isothermal wagon fresh fish was transported from the Port to Sóller & in trailers coal was taken to the old military submarine base at Port de Sóller to the "el Gas" factory, as well as mines and torpedoes transported from the Caubet powder magazine.
    The three streetcar cars numbered 1 to 3 and their trailers 5 and 6 are the originals of 1913 which were ordered from the Zaragoza firm Carde & Escoriaza. The planters were acquired from the Palma tramways in 1954.
    In addition, the Sóller Tramway has five streetcar cars from Lisbon, numbered from 20 to 24, adapted to the 914mm gauge.
