We are Tania and Gaetano, two expats who moved our families to Spain for new adventures. We both moved here from the US, Tania (originally from the UK) in 2020, with her husband and daughter from Northern Virginia, and Gaetano in 2023 with his two daughters from Los Angeles.

We all met in Valencia and got along incredibly well, but while we cracked each other up discussing our fun times adjusting to Spain, there were quite a few eye-rolls from our girls (tweens and teenagers anyone!). In an effort to give our daughters a little break we thought what the heck, let’s share our experiences with unsuspecting strangers instead. This podcast came to life and we hope you enjoy the pitfalls and joys of our experiences - we all have!Copyright 2025 All rights reserved.

  • Our Comfort Food Hacks
    Mar 31 2026

    Missing your favorite comfort foods in abroad? In this enlightening episode of Ah Spain Podcast, we share our best food hacks in Spain—from taco seasoning and homemade buttermilk substitutes to recreating that cozy pumpkin spice vibe abroad. We also confess the lengths we go to, including recruiting friends as spice mules to get a taste of home, plus the surprising Spanish swaps that actually work—hello, nata para montar. But not everything is hackable… we’re talking Old Bay seasoning and those suspiciously “bagel-shaped” imposters. Tune in for laughs, cravings, and a nostalgic ode to our long-lost love: pumpernickel.

  • Poco A Poco: Churros
    Mar 24 2026

    Get ready to satisfy your sweet tooth as we explore the crunchy, sugar-coated world of authentic Spanish churros and their fluffy cousins, porras. We trace the mysterious origins of these fried delights from the high-mountain shepherds and their Churra sheep or were they Chinese imports brought by Portuguese sailors returning from Asia. This episode breaks down the regional styles found in Madrid and Andalusia, explaining why the local churrería remains the heart of a classic Spanish breakfast. You will learn why fresh is best and why the simplest versions usually beat the over-the-top toppings found at festivals. Grab a thick hot chocolate and join us for a journey through Spain’s most delicious treat that has spread across the world.

  • Perspectivas: Interviewing Andrew Anderson, from VoteFromAbroad.org
    Mar 17 2026

    Your vote is your voice, even when you’re living thousands of miles away. In this episode of Ah Spain Podcast: Perspectivas, Andrew Anderson from VoteFromAbroad.org joins us to clarify the often-confusing process of voting in U.S. elections from abroad. We walk through how to register correctly, meeting the state deadlines, and how to confirm your ballot was actually received and counted. Andrew explains why American expats in Spain have to renew their registration every year and the process is a lot easier than you think! For those looking to stay active beyond the 2026 midterm elections, we also highlight how to find volunteer opportunities within the U.S. expat community. It is a straightforward guide to making sure your ballot makes the trip from Spain back to your home precinct.
