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!

In this episode of Ah Spain Podcast, we’re gearing up for Las Fallas in Valencia—the fireworks, the falleras, the mascletà madness—and all the wonderfully weird things that come with it. From 800 towering statues taking over the streets and the one lucky ninot indultat that escapes the flames, to 60-pound silk dresses and firecracker shows you feel in your chest, we chat about the wild traditions behind Spain’s most explosive festival. We also wax poetic about daily life in Valencia: the mystery bread on doorsteps, the joy of grocery delivery, and why the city somehow doesn’t burn down?! Then there are the bonkers school holiday schedules (a week off for Fallas… then two more for Easter?!). Plus, how to survive Fallas with pets, why our kids get ridiculously cool school trips, and our annual dream of escaping Valencia during the chaos (spoiler: not this year). Grab a seat and escape to Spain with us.
