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!, we're talking trash as we dumpster dive headfirst into the wonderfully weird world of Spanish waste management. From deciphering the colorful dumpster system to figuring out what to do with your old clothes, used cooking oil, garden trimmings, and that broken IKEA chair you’ve been meaning to toss — we cover it all. Whether you’re new to Spain or just tired of nervously hovering over bins hoping you're not committing eco-crimes, this episode will clear things up. It might not be the sexiest topic, but trust us, understanding how to handle your trash in Spain will make your life cleaner, greener, and a whole lot easier. Tune in, laugh a little, and learn how not to get fined by your local ayuntamiento.
