It seems like an event in which there is a conversation between the media people and the owners. At the background there is a big hoarding and the wall beside it.

Mallorca’s Death Café Celebrates a Decade of Breaking Taboos Around Mortality

A unique initiative on the Balearic Islands is helping people talk openly about death and dying. The Mallorca Death Café, founded by Glynis German, will mark its 10th anniversary in December 2025. Over the past decade, these informal gatherings have spread across Spain, creating spaces for honest conversations.

The Death Café concept arrived in Mallorca in 2015, introduced by Glynis German. Unlike therapy or support groups, these sessions offer a relaxed setting for community discussions. Participants meet in hospitals, health centres, and local venues to share thoughts on mortality.

The Mallorca Death Café has grown from a single gathering into a widespread movement. Its 10th anniversary will highlight how open discussions about death can change lives. The initiative continues to provide comfort and connection for those willing to engage with the subject.
