On 14 October, In Mallorca Magazine had the privilege of attending “Giving is Giving” (Dar es Dar) a day of talks, workshops, and heartfelt exchanges dedicated to one simple yet profound idea: that true fulfilment comes from giving.

The event brought together an inspiring mix of people — chefs, winemakers, architects, teachers, psychologists, and artists — all united by a desire to share experiences and reflect on what it means to find genuine satisfaction.
