Digging back in the history of the Soller valley the oranges are key. Blight and problems arrived like a pandemic and the effects were cruel. Poverty and the migration to France and beyond arrived for a generation of young men. ERTE wasn’t in the governments gift at that time and
solutions were looked for to the Church and local Squires. Yes, this all part of our history, but it just proves we are living in a time which will become the history of tomorrow.
The glowing future seeds are really sprouting in the Soller Valley and the Saturday market conversations were very optimistic.
