Emblemàtics Balears 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 the objectives of this project is to publicise the uniqueness of each municipality through its emblematic establishments. Although the initiative focuses on listed shops, the rest of the commercial fabric benefits, as the emblematic establishments also act as a driving force and attraction for visitors from inside and outside the Islands.
It is the town councils that identify the shops in the municipality that meet the requirements to be emblematic, by an ADR Balears 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) and with heritage (with outstanding interior and exterior heritage elements, as well as with intangible value). In addition, establishments that meet these three categories are 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 thirty-three municipalities throughout the Balearic Islands with a total of 385 shops listed.
The municipalities that already have listed establishments are: Alaró (4), Alcúdia (7), Algaida (7), Artà (7), Binissalem (15), Campos (16), Capdepera (3), Consell (6), Esporles (5), Felanitx (12), Inca (14), Lloseta (7), Llucmajor (11), Manacor (25), Marratxí (12), Palma (83), Pollença (9), Porreres (8), Santa Eugènia (1), Santa Maria del Camí (15), Santanyí (7), Sa Pobla (12), Selva (1), Sineu (8), Alaior (5), Ciutadella (14), Es Mercadal (1), Ferreries (11), Maó (30), Santa Eulària des Riu (5), Sant Josep de sa Talaia (5), Vila (11) and Formentera (8).
