[cat] Entre 1860 i 1930 es poden comptar per milers els sollerics que varen partir a la recerca d’una vida millor. La majoria varen mantenir una fort lligam amb el poble que els va veure partir a través del setmanari Sóller. Molts d’ells tornaran enriquits i transformaran econòmica i socialment Sóller. La majoria es dedicaren al comerç i la restauració, obrint nombroses botigues i restaurants per tota França que abastien amb productes mallorquins a través del Port de Sóller. La Primera Guerra Mundial trastocarà la vida dels sollerics i l’economia de Sóller quedant gravada en la premsa i la memòria local.
