Carrer Sa Lluna is a picturesque pedestrian street with plenty of small shops, five minutes from here we will find the Can Prunera Modernist Museum, its façade is one of the most artistic and elaborate in all of Sóller, there are plenty of stone, wood and metal details decorating the building. The rooms preserve some of the original furnishings, showing off great decorative wealth.
