What happens on 11 November

A 24-hour general strike has been called in the Balearic Islands for Wednesday 11 November 2026, covering public and private sector workers. The regional cabinet approved the minimum services and TIB has published them. If you are travelling between Palma and Sóller, there will be public transport, but much less of it than on a normal Wednesday.

TIB bus to Sóller: Sunday timetable

All TIB interurban lines run the Sunday and holiday timetable, and buses will display a minimum services sign. The notice does not list each line, but the Sóller lines (204 to Palma through the tunnel, 203 via Deià and Valldemossa) fall under that general rule. The five lines with no service that day (331, 343d, 431d, 518 and 519d) do not serve Sóller.

In practice, check the Sunday and holiday column for your line: bus 204 has 30 departures each way instead of 33, without the earliest morning ones (more here). For Deià and Valldemossa, see bus 203.

Sóller train and tram

The Ferrocarril de Sóller will run two full trips from Palma to Sóller, stopping at Bunyola, and back. Neither TIB nor the other sources give the times of those two trains, so ask at the station or check trendesoller.com before you go. We found no minimum services information for the tram to the Port.

Remember too that the train stops for its winter break from 23 November to 1 February (full details).

If you are driving

The strike does not affect the roads, but two things still apply: the Sóller tunnel closes at night until 19 November (times and detour) and the town-centre low emission zone fines unauthorised vehicles (what to know). Leave the car in a car park on the edge of town.

Health and other services

Hospital emergency departments, the 061 line and the PAC clinics run at 100 %. Health centres open with reduced staff. In the Port, the local clinic has temporarily moved to the Sóller health centre (more information). Schools must open with minimum teaching staff, according to Última Hora.
