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!

From bitter Aztec brews to gloriously thick, dunkable chocolate a la taza, this Poco a Poco episode of Ah Spain Podcast explores how Spain became Europe’s original chocolate trendsetter. We chat about conquistadors, monks with a sweet tooth, and how sugar and spices transformed cacao from a cold, spicy shock into a royal obsession. Naturally, we also confess our own lifelong love affair with Spanish chocolate—purely in the name of cultural research. Expect secret recipes, noble indulgence, and chocolate once considered practically medicinal. If you’re into Spanish food history, hot chocolate and churros, and the story behind Spain’s most comforting obsession, this episode is guaranteed to leave you craving more.
