The “Emblematic Balearic Islands” project, promoted by the Vice-Presidency and Regional Ministry of Energy Transition, Productive Sectors and Democratic Memory, through the Directorate General for Trade and the Balearic Islands Institute for Business Innovation (IDI), was born out of the need to protect local commercial activity and, more specifically, that of the most traditional establishments in the municipalities. One of this project’s objectives is to publicise each municipality’s uniqueness through its emblematic establishments.
It is the town councils that identify the shops in the municipality that meet the requirements to be emblematic, in accordance with an IDI manual that establishes the different categories. Thus, a shop can be classified as rooted (with a singular product or trade), with history (with more than 75 years of life or exceptionally after 50 years) and with heritage (with outstanding interior and exterior heritage elements, as well as with intangible value). In addition, establishments that meet these three categories will be called emblematic.
The platform through which the project is publicised is the website www.emblematicsbalears.es, which is growing as more municipalities join the project.
There are currently twenty municipalities throughout the Balearic Islands, with 246 shops listed.
The municipalities that already have listed establishments are Alaró (4), Alcúdia (8), Algaida (5), Consell (6), Esporles (5), Inca (14), Lloseta (7), Llucmajor (11), Manacor (25), Marratxí (12), Palma (74), Pollença (9), Porreres (8), Santanyí (7), Alaior (5), Ferreries (11), Maó (19), Santa Eulària des Riu (5), Sant Josep de sa Talaia (5), Formentera (Sant Ferran, 1, and Sant Francesc Xavier, 5). By categories, there are 63 emblematic establishments; 81 with roots and history; 25 with heritage and history; 42 with history; 28 with roots; 3 with roots and heritage, and 2 with gift.
