ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Valencia is a ghost town, the pueblos are setting off fireworks, and it is entirely too hot to be outside. Thankfully we both have air conditioning this summer! In this episode, Tania and Gaetano have a meandering chat about the beautiful, boring chaos of August in Spain. We touch on random topics keeping us alive this summer: figuring out how to find local news on our smart TVs, surviving international travel hiccups, and pedaling beach-ward on a bicycle just to feel a breeze. Grab a cold drink and come escape the heat with us.
