Brought to you by Palmallorca Community
For more than a decade, Jan Amtrup has been one of the most active and helpful voices in Mallorca’s online communities — especially for newcomers, residents, and long-term visitors trying to navigate daily life on the island.
He’s the founder and moderator of numerous Facebook groups including:
- Danes in Mallorca
- Resident Danes in Mallorca
- … and many more social spaces where people ask questions, get answers, and help each other enjoy Mallorca to the fullest.
Now, in collaboration with Palmallorca, Jan is bringing that same spirit into a free and open blog series for everyone — whether you’re on Facebook or not.
Welcome to “Let’s Talk Mallorca”
“Let’s Talk Mallorca” is an open forum-style blog where Jan shares everyday insights, answers popular questions, and brings helpful posts from social media into one place that’s easy to find and share.
From navigating local rules and lifestyle differences, to understanding what’s actually allowed with smoking, dogs, or Airbnb, Jan shares the little things that can make a big difference.
This is not an expert column or tourism brochure. It’s a friendly, honest space to talk about what’s up in Mallorca — and help each other enjoy it more.
👉 You don’t need to be a member to read “Let’s Talk Mallorca.” It’s completely free and open to everyone.
A Personal Welcome from Jan
“First of all, thank you to everyone who has followed, commented, or helped others in the Facebook groups over the years. You’ve made the Mallorca community what it is.
With this blog series, I want to continue those conversations in a more permanent and open way — so people can find answers even if they’re not on social media.
I’ll keep moderating and participating in our Facebook groups, but I also invite you to follow the threads I’m part of here at Palmallorca. You’re welcome to join discussions, ask questions, and share your own advice.
Whether you live here or just dream of it — I look forward to talking more with you.”
— Jan Amtrup
