In 1974 a group of friends decided to set out on a march.

On 17 July 1974, a group of friends decided to set out on a march from the now defunct Bar Güell to the Monastery of Lluc to thank the Virgin venerated there – who is the patron saint of Mallorca – for the fact that a little girl had escaped unharmed in an accident.

One day later, on 18 July 1974, the first march from Güell to Lluc on foot began, in which around thirty people took part. Since then, it has become the most popular marxa in Mallorca.
