Step into Valencia’s Jardins del Real (aka Viveros) and prepare to look at this peaceful park very differently. In this Ah Spain Podcast: Poco a Poco episode, we dig beneath the orange trees to uncover a forgotten royal palace, Islamic gardens, and a 600-year power center hiding in plain sight. From Moorish orchards and medieval monarchs to Napoleonic destruction and modern archaeology, this episode also explores Valencia’s tug-of-war between history and progress. Expect surprising twists and buried secrets!

It’s a new year and a brand-new season. Join Tania and Gaetano as we kick off 2026 with Season 2 of Ah… Spain! The Podcast. In this episode, we reflect on the joy of recording Season One, what we learned along the way, and what we’ve been up to over the holidays.

From Christmas feasts to New Year’s Eve traditions and superstitions, we share stories about seasonal celebrations and cultural customs in Spain and across Europe. We also look ahead to what’s coming next, including more conversations about parenting abroad, European travel, expat life in Spain, family life overseas, and everyday living in Europe.

If you’re interested in moving to Spain, living in Europe, European culture, travel in Europe, or raising a family abroad, this season is for you. We’re excited to continue sharing real stories, honest conversations, and practical insights about life in Spain and beyond.

We hope you’re having a wonderful holiday season! Unfortunately, Tania is a bit under the weather this week, and instead of recording a show full of coughs, sneezes and pauses… we thought it would be fun to re-air our first episode! We have come a long way on this journey.

In our very first podcast, we chat about how each of us arrived in Spain with our families in tow. Was it by boat, plane, train, hot air balloon—or all of the above? Tune in for our slightly chaotic moving stories, how we met, and how Ah Spain: The Podcast came to be. Wishing you a happy New Year, and we’ll see you very soon when we launch Season 2!
