Puesta de sol en Sa Foradada, Mirador de Son Marroig and Molinos de Pla de Mallorca, remastered and relaunched in collaboration with the Fomento del Turismo de Mallorca
On 12 August 2026, a total solar eclipse will cross Mallorca. It will happen low in the western sky, near sunset, over water most of the island has never seen turn that colour. It is the kind of event that gives an old archive a new reason to be opened.
That is exactly what has happened at the Fomento del Turismo de Mallorca. Working directly with the organisation, Stick No Bills has remastered and relaunched three poster artworks from its archive, each first printed in the 1980s and 1990s, each sourced directly and exclusively from the Fomento's own collection.
Sa Foradada and Son Marroig
Two of the three posters look out over the same stretch of coast, the wild, northwest-facing shoulder of the island between Deià and Valldemossa.
Puesta de sol en Sa Foradada, photographed by Pedro Coll in 1987, shows the great pierced rock that gives the headland its name, silhouetted against a sky the colour of the amber sea below it. Mirador de Son Marroig, Valldemossa, photographed by Eduardo Millares in 1996, is taken from the balustraded lookout above, an arched terrace built by Archduke Ludwig Salvator, with the same coastline stretching out beneath it.
Both sit within the Tramuntana mountain range, a UNESCO World Heritage site that runs the length of Mallorca's north-west coast. Both are also expected to be among the best places on the island from which to watch the eclipse, thanks to their open, west-facing sea horizons. It is a rare alignment of geography and timing, and one we felt was worth marking properly.
Molinos y sol poniente
The third poster in the release moves inland. Molinos y sol poniente, photographed by Vicenç Negre in 1996, captures a row of windmills on the Pla de Mallorca, the flat central plain of the island, caught against a burning orange sunset. It is a different kind of Mallorcan light, but the same evocative, end-of-day mood that runs through all three images.
Together, the three posters form a small, coherent release: two coastal views built for watching the sky, and one inland scene that simply reminds you what a Mallorquín sunset has always looked like.
From the Fomento archive to print again
All three posters were first printed by the Fomento del Turismo de Mallorca, the island's official tourism promotion body, decades ago. They have sat in the organisation's archive since, properly catalogued and rarely seen outside it.
Stick No Bills has worked with the Fomento del Turismo de Mallorca to bring these three images back into circulation as part of our Mallorca Vintage® Series. Each is an authorised, officially licensed poster artwork, properly attributed to its original photographer, and remastered from the archive originals rather than reproduced from a scan of an old print.
Printed in the Mediterranean, to museum-quality standards
Every Stick No Bills fine art print is produced at our Global Printworks at the Imprenta Nueva Balear in Palma de Mallorca, the oldest active printworks in the western Mediterranean, operated by the Aguiló family since 1917. Our fourth-generation master printer, Roberto Aguiló, oversees each edition.
We print on premium matte finish paper stock and superior quality cotton canvas, using archival, pigmented inks guaranteed to be fade-proof. Each of the three posters is available in a full range of sizes and qualities, from Premium Open Edition posters to hand-numbered Museum and Rare Limited Editions, numbered sequentially in order of purchase.
Why licensed poster art matters
At Stick No Bills we specialise in officially licensed, revived and remastered vintage travel posters. We work directly with archives, museums, estates and institutional brands, from Pan Am and the British Airways Heritage Centre to the Fomento del Turismo de Mallorca itself.
Proper licensing, copyright and attribution sit at the heart of everything we produce. When you buy an authorised poster artwork, you support the photographers, archives and institutions who own and care for this heritage. In a market with no shortage of unlicensed reproductions, provenance matters, and we know it matters to you too.
Watch the eclipse, then take a piece of the coast home
All three posters, Puesta de sol en Sa Foradada, Mirador de Son Marroig and Molinos y sol poniente, are available now through our online gallery and at our Global Poster Gallery & Printworks at the Imprenta Nueva Balear in Palma de Mallorca.
If you are on the island for the eclipse on 12 August, we hope you find a good spot to watch it. And whether you are there in person or watching from further afield, we thought this was the right moment to bring these three quietly beautiful images of Mallorca back into the light.
The journey has only just begun.
