Their Majesties and Their Royal Highnesses visited Museo de Fray Junípero Serra, created by the Pare Serra Friends Association in 1959, in a building adjacent to the Family House. The museum brings together paintings, prints, medals, sculptures, reliefs, engravings, photographs and models related to the places of the Saint's work.

Concluding their trip, they received a guided tour of Santuari de la Mare de Déu de Bonay, considered the last place where Saint Junípero Serra Ferrer preached before going to America. The sanctuary contains a relic of the body and the coffin, including a temporary exhibition of 30 paintings by Juan Ros Marí that show the Saint's life in Mallorca and America.
