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!

Think mayonnaise is French? Think again! In this episode of Poco A Poco, we uncover its tasty Spanish backstory on the island of Menorca, where “mahonesa” was born during the 18th-century siege of Port Mahon. From classic mayonesa to its garlicky cousin alioli, we explore how these sauces became staples of Spanish kitchens and tapas tables. Join us for a fun dive into food history, regional twists, and the Spanish side of the world’s favorite condiment.
