That looks like it would be a lovely trip.

I went on the Ghan from Adelaide to Darwin last year.

That was absolute luxury!

strangely enough for a popular tourist destination that train ride is the only touristy thing that I do here. I am not a beach person (except a dawn swim or a night beach party, I have seen all the "must see" tourist sites. And while the bus only takes 30 minutes and is much cheaper, this is the only tourist thing I take my visitors to, go by myself for festivals The North coast is mostly 8 story cliffs that drop straight to the wáter, and the Port de Sóller is the only real accessable beach and harbour. Every first Saturday of July there is a concert at the bottom of the most dangerous canyon on the island, basicly a collapsed cave that in a storm has a 20m wide outlet for a 6k watershed. The accoustics are great. There are three accesses, hike down the dangerous canyon for two hours where the bottom is changed every year by flash floods and VW sizeed bouldrs. A drive down a tisty road with switch backs so Sharp that a bus has to reverse to make the turns leaving the driver or the rear passengers over nothing, it even goes under itself,, it is called the cobra (Sa Calobra) and a walk through tunels to the canyon, or a boat ride, spectacular with visits of the boat into caves. So I go by car>train>tramway>boat>walk to get there. I try to catch the first boat to go swimming because, as I said, the beach is only 20wide, but by 17:00 for the concert there are 5000 people on the beach for the concert.

it is, to get to the canyon next to the other, I almost always go by boat. There are two reasons so many people die in the next canyon. In summer they hike it alone, fall and die of sunstroke, in Winter imagin that canyon flushing itself through a w0gap. So when a flash flood hits everything is swept out to see, the cliffs are so steep you can´t escape. The only time I drove that road was to get pictures of the flash flood from the entrance of the tunnel.
