The "Emblematic Balearic" project was born from the need to protect local commercial activity and, more specifically, that of the establishments with the most tradition in the municipalities. One of the purposes of this project is to make known the uniqueness of each municipality through its emblematic establishments. Although the initiative focuses on the listed businesses, the rest of the commercial fabric benefits from it, since the emblematic ones also function as a driving element and appeal for visitors from inside and outside the Islands.

It is the town councils that identify the businesses in the municipality that meet the requirements to be emblematic, in accordance with an ADR Balearic manual that establishes the different categories. Thus, a business can be classified as established (with a unique product or trade), with history (with more than 75 years of life or exceptionally from 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.

There are currently 385 businesses from 33 towns in the Balearic Islands that are members of "Emblemàtic Balears". The municipalities that already have catalogued 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). By category, there are 102 emblematic establishments; 129 with roots and history; 30 with heritage and history; 56 with history; 55 with roots, and 13 with roots and heritage.
