The drive from Palma to Soller is extremely straightforward, from the Via Cintura MA20 at Junction 5A take the MA11. Once you have passed the Bunyola junction, you will reach a point where you can choose either the Soller Tunnel or continue driving along the mountainous MA11a with its considerable twists and turns. We would recommend taking the Tunnel (3kms long) if time is important to you. If you choose to take the MA11a coast route, you will be able admire the most amazing breathtaking scenery.
