About this listen

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!Copyright 2025 All rights reserved.

  • Poco A Poco: Croquetas
    Feb 24 2026

    This Poco a Poco episode of Ah Spain Podcast is dedicated to CROQUETAS! — Spain’s golden, crispy tapas with a center so creamy it almost defies physics. We follow their journey from French kitchens to Spanish homes and bars, where béchamel, leftovers, and olive oil turned them into a comfort food classic. From jamón and bacalao to modern favorites, croquetas reflect the ingenuity and flavor at the heart of Spanish cooking. Along the way, we explore how this humble bite became a staple of Spanish tapas culture and everyday life. It’s a small dish with a long story — and Spain wouldn’t be the same without it.
