The sindicat of Felanitx was a wine factory. It was founded in 1913 by Bartomeu Vaquer Veny.

It was the biggest wine factory in Mallorca but around 1990 it was abandoned and forgotten and since then there has been lots of vandalic actions.

Now the town hall wants to do a new international center of arts. The aim of the goverment, is to turn the old factory wine “cooperative” into an international center of plastic arts. This project will have the support of the famous local artist Miquel Barcelo. They will study the possibility of creating a fundation and this will be opened to the participation of other institutions and private organizations.

People think that’s a good idea because Felanitx is very boring and the sindicat is abandoned. It certainly will attract more tourists and that will be very good for shops and restaurants. In general, people agree with these plans as long as they preserve the original bulding.
