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!

Modern chess didn’t just appear out of thin air—it had a dramatic rebirth in 15th-century Valencia. Here, a slow, plodding game was supercharged with bold new moves, and the queen took center stage. In this episode of AH Spain Poco a Poco, we dive into how a city buzzing with Renaissance energy helped reinvent the game forever. It’s a story of poetry, power, and play that changed the way the world thinks about chess.
