History
S'Altra Senalla was created on 14 February 1994 as a fair trade association in Mallorca. It began its activities with stalls at markets and fairs, and shortly afterwards opened its first shop on Carrer de l'Oli in Palma. In 1999, it launched an educational programme covering all school levels, with notable initiatives such as the Ludoteca Solidària for primary education and the Taller de Comerç Just i Consum Responsable for secondary education. Over time, the assortment expanded beyond fair trade products from the Global South to include local, organic, and packaged products from Mallorcan producers. The association collaborates with Finestra al Sud–S'Altra Senalla in Inca and S'Altra Senalla in Manacor at the Casal de la Pau, with which it formed a federation. In 2019, the 25th anniversary of the arrival of fair trade in the Balearic Islands was celebrated. In 2014, the Obra Cultural Balear awarded S'Altra Senalla the Francesc de Borja Moll prize as part of the Premis 31 de desembre.
