After travelling to more than 50 countries and building a location-independent life, Australian entrepreneur and content creator Jake Snow has amassed an Instagram audience of 1.6 million followers. He could have chosen almost anywhere to call home. In this episode, Helen sits down with Jake to explore why he and his wife Marie chose Mallorca as the place to slow down, raise their young family and create a more permanent base after a decade of travelling the world. Jake shares what Mallorca offers beyond the holiday experience, from the walkability and everyday lifestyle of Palma to beaches, mountains, family-friendly culture, healthcare and the growing question of schooling. He also explains why he believes renting before buying is one of the smartest things prospective residents can do, and what he learned from eventually purchasing and renovating their own property on the island. Their conversation also traces the unconventional journey that made the move possible: meeting in Thailand, creating an online business and building a global audience, before moving into boutique hotels in Bali and developing a new project in Cape Town.

Can Valero and Son Castelló Industrial Estates: Nightlife in Palma Nightlife in Can Valero and Son Castelló.When people talk about going out at night in Palma, they usually think of the Paseo Marítimo, Santa Catalina, La Lonja, or Playa de Palma. However, there is another, quite different side to Palma's nightlife: the scene found in the Can Valero and Son Castelló industrial estates. During the day, these areas are primarily dedicated to businesses, workshops, warehouses, and industrial activities. Come nightfall, however, some of these spaces undergo a complete transformation, turning into concert halls, clubs, electronic music venues, dance clubs, and spots where the night can continue until the early hours. It is a different kind of nightlife compared to Palma's more tourist-heavy areas, and for that very reason, it can be appealing to both locals and visitors looking for a unique night out in Mallorca. Can Valero: an area with its own nightlife vibe The Can Valero industrial estate is located in the western part of Palma and is home to several nightlife venues. One standout name right now is R33 Mallorca, located on Carrer Poima. The club focuses specifically on electronic music and is most active on Friday and Saturday nights. Its location within the industrial estate gives it a unique character: you aren't entering a club on a busy downtown street lined with bars, but rather an industrial space repurposed for nightlife. Son Castelló: concerts, clubs, and electronic music nights. If Can Valero has its own scene, Son Castelló boasts an even wider range of options. One of the best-known venues is Es Gremi, located on Carrer Gremi de Porgadors. Its programming combines concerts, parties, DJ sets, and various forms of music-based entertainment. It is one of the venues that most clearly demonstrates how an industrial estate can transform into a music hotspot in Palma. The area is also home to Selva Club, located on Gremi des Fusters. The club specializes in electronic music, with a lineup that includes genres such as techno, tech-house, melodic house, minimal, and other electronic sub-genres. Selva’s activity is concentrated mainly on Friday and Saturday nights, with sets that can last until six in the morning. Caña Brava: karaoke and dance music Another distinct option within Son Castelló is Caña Brava, located on Avenida 16 de Julio. The vibe here is completely different from the electronic music clubs; it is a bar featuring karaoke, Latin American music, cocktails, and dance sessions, making it a particularly appealing choice for groups of friends looking for a more casual night out. It currently operates as a nightlife venue from Thursday to Sunday, though hours may vary depending on the day and the scheduled events. Why are there nightclubs in industrial estates? The location is no coincidence. Industrial estates offer large spaces that can be adapted into concert halls and clubs—something far more difficult to achieve in Palma’s historic center. Furthermore, because they are situated away from the most densely populated residential areas, these venues can host late-night musical events with a different character than a small club located right in the city center. The result is a unique scene: industrial warehouses, spacious dance floors, electronic music, concerts, and parties that start late and run into the early hours of the morning. An alternative to the Paseo Marítimo A night out in Can Valero or Son Castelló is not the same as one on the Paseo Marítimo. In the tourist areas, you will find a higher concentration of bars, terraces, and nightclubs, whereas in the industrial estates, the nightlife tends to be centered around specific, individual venues. That is why it is a good idea to check the schedule for the night you plan to go out. Not all venues are open every day, and some operate primarily when hosting a party, concert, or scheduled event. In fact, Palma’s nightlife scene is evolving. In recent years, the sector has seen a rise in "tardeo" (afternoon/early evening socializing) and other leisure formats, shifting away from the traditional model of going out exclusively in the early hours of the morning. What kind of music will you find? It depends entirely on the venue. In Can Valero and Son Castelló, you can find a wide variety of options: 🎧 Techno and electronic music. 🎶 House and tech-house. 🎤 Live concerts. 💃 Parties and DJ sets. 🎤 Karaoke. 🌎 Latin music. 🪩 Theme parties. 🔊 Sessions that last until dawn. For this reason, rather than speaking of a single "industrial estate nightlife" scene, it would be more accurate to speak of different nightlife scenes concentrated within the same industrial area. Getting there and back There is a significant difference here compared to going out in Palma’s city center. Can Valero and Son Castelló are designed primarily for vehicle traffic, and the distances between venues can be considerable. If you plan to go out at night, it is wise to plan your return journey before you start. Taxis can be one of the most practical options, especially in the early hours of the morning. It is also advisable to check public transport connections for the area and specific return schedules beforehand. If you are going to drink, do not drive. While there may be parking near some venues in these areas, that does not make the car a good option for getting home after a night out. Is it a tourist area? Not in the same sense as Magaluf, Playa de Palma, or the Paseo Marítimo. That is precisely what makes it unique. The nightlife in Can Valero and Son Castelló is much more closely linked to the music scene and the local crowd, although certain events can attract visitors from elsewhere. For those visiting Mallorca who want to experience a different side of Palma’s nightlife, it can be an interesting alternative to the more well-known areas. A different kind of night out in Palma The Can Valero and Son Castelló industrial estates demonstrate that Palma’s nightlife is not limited to the areas usually featured in tourist guidebooks. Amidst industrial warehouses and streets that bustle with completely different activity during the day, some of the city’s most distinctive music venues operate. If you are looking for electronic music, concerts, DJs, karaoke, or parties that last until the early hours, it is worth checking the schedule before deciding where to go. And one final recommendation: in these industrial areas, schedules and opening times can vary significantly from day to day. Before heading out, always verify that the venue is actually hosting the planned session or event that night. Palma’s nightlife is here too—you just have to step off the beaten path to find it.
