Water refill points in Sóller
Sóller is the densest mapped water town in the Tramuntana after Palma. Points run through the town centre, up the lanes towards Biniaraix and Fornalutx, along the road down to Port de Sóller and around the port itself — including one named font, the font de Cas Patró Lau. Fill here before anything steep.
That density is the reason Sóller works as a mountain base. Everything hard starts within a few kilometres of the plaça: Puig Major and the high Ma-10 east, Sa Calobra beyond it, the Ma-10 west to Deià and Valldemossa, and the old Coll de Sóller road south. None of those has dependable public water on it. The valley does, and in more than one place, so you can leave with full bottles from wherever your ride actually begins.
Plan the fill by direction rather than by convenience. Riding out towards Puig Major, use the town or the Fornalutx side. Starting from the port, there are points down there too, so you do not have to climb into town first. Coming back over the Coll, the town is the first water you will have seen in a long while.
These are OpenStreetMap records maintained by volunteers, and the date under the answer above is when we last pulled the data rather than when anyone tested the tap — a dense cluster ages just as unevenly as a sparse one. Check the island-wide drinking-water and bottle-refill map for what exists over your pass, see the Sóller town page for what else is mapped in the valley, and for a hot day on Puig Major read our cycling safety guidance for Mallorca.
Common questions
Is the water at these points drinkable?
The dataset has no water-quality field, so this page will not tell you a given point is potable — only that it is mapped as a public drinking-water point. Judge it where you stand, and be more cautious with a rural font than a town tap: skip anything with a smell, visible growth or standing water in the basin. For mains water quality in the municipality, the Ajuntament de Sóller is who to ask.
Is there water at Port de Sóller as well as in the town?
Yes — several points are mapped around the port and along the road that links it to the town, so a ride starting at the port does not need a detour up into the centre first. Wherever you start, leave the valley full: the climbs out of it are the dry part.
Where should I fill before Puig Major or Sa Calobra?
In the town or on the Fornalutx side, whichever is on your way. Once you are on the Ma-10 heading east there is effectively nothing until Lluc, and Sa Calobra adds a long descent and a long climb back with no public water at all. Two bottles in summer, filled in the valley.
