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 Poco A Poco episode, we get a little nutty exploring Spain’s sweetest tradition — marzipan (mazapán). From Toledo’s convent kitchens to medieval legends born of famine, this almondy classic has quite the backstory. We unwrap its Moorish roots, monastic magic, and why Toledo still reigns as the capital of Spanish marzipan today. From tiny sweets to eel-shaped creations, marzipan comes in many forms — and we’ve got the tales (and laughs) to match. Expect our signature mix of humor and history, sprinkled with just the right amount of sugar.
