  We study magnetic vortex-like solutions lying on the spherical surface. The
simplest cylindrically symmetric vortex presents two cores (instead of one,
like in open surfaces) with same charge, so repealing each other. However, the
net vorticity is computed to vanish in accordance with Gauss theorem. We also
address the problem of a flat plane in which a conical, a pseudospherical and a
hemispherical segments were incorporated. In this case, if we allow the vortex
to move without appreciable deformation in this support, then it is attracted
by the conical apex and by the pseudosphere as well, while it is repealed by
the hemisphere. This suggests that such surfaces could be viewed as pinning and
depinning geometries for those excitations. Spherical harmonics coreless
solutions are discussed within some details.
