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!

Lace up those hiking boots — this week, we’re walking very slowly across Spain. In this Poco a Poco episode, we trace the legendary Camino de Santiago — from ancient miracles and royal pilgrims to today’s mix of blisters, bonding, and “¡Buen Camino!” camaraderie. Once a sacred journey to the tomb of Saint James, it’s now part spiritual quest, part cultural adventure, and part endurance test (with plenty of stamp collecting along the way). We explore why the scallop shell is the sign you’re on the right path — and what inspires hundreds of thousands of journey-seekers to hit the trail each year. Whether you’re walking for faith, fitness, or just for fun, the Camino always finds a way to change you, poco a poco.
