spanish culture

Join us on an intoxicating journey through Spain, as we follow the story of our guest, Sophie Martin, an American who initially traveled to Spain to learn Spanish but ended up falling in love with the culture, the people, and to her surprise, the wine. With Sophie, we explore the world of Spanish wines and the rich culture that surrounds it, highlighting her transformation from a non-drinker to a Toro wine enthusiast. Get ready to be inspired by her account of stepping out of her comfort zone and embracing a new way of life.

Navigating through the Spanish healthcare system, discovering fascinating food culture, and adopting a 'work to live' philosophy, Sophie shares what it’s like to adapt to a completely different lifestyle. Experience the Spanish way of life through Sophie's eyes as she paints a vivid picture of siestas after hearty lunches, and the fusion of American food with Spanish cuisine. We also delve deep into the profound cultural differences between the US and Spain, a comparison that will give you a taste of true Spanish culture.

Lastly, we summarize the last days of our trip to Spain, from discussing the vineyards of the Galicia region with Joaquin from Alan de Val. From a unique wine tasting experience to fascinating stories about Spain's wine history and the revival of old Spanish varietals, get ready for an intriguing adventure. We wrap up with highlights and final thoughts from our trip.

Join us on our journey to understanding why Spain is so Bull crazy, and the history of an activity that can't really be put in a category. Is it sport? Is it art? Is it animal cruelty? Listen in as we get Historically High on Bullfighting!

In this extra long episode, Tesa and Dino invite guest Ryan Turner to talk about the complex issue of race in Spain. Having grown up a black man in Atlanta, Ryan speaks about his experiences living as a black man in Madrid over the last twenty years and his involvement with the Black Lives Matter movement in Spain. In the episode, Tesa, Dino, and Ryan also discuss results from a survey sent out asking Americans living in Spain about their experiences and observations about race and racism in Spain. Listen for an eye opening conversation on how race relations take a distinct shape while still maintaining fascinating commonalities in two countries with different histories. 

Also, slang words and phrases to help you fit in as a true madrileñx.

In this episode, we hear Spaniards talk about the stereotypes they have about the United States. Is it true that Americans eat junk food all the time, drive huge cars, and carry around guns? Listen as we chat about these questions and then turn to a Spaniard who's been living in the US for over five years to hear his take on American stereotypes.

Also, it's true, you don't have to tip when in Spain.

As we celebrate the end of another year, we thank the Spaniards who have graciously welcomed us into their country over the last several months. Hear from Dino, Tesa, and their listeners about the joyful moments in which they've felt most at home living in Spain.

Also, all the ins and outs of the Spanish siesta.

We welcome Valerie Hemingway to share her memories of her father-in-law and the thrilling Spanish summer of 1959. We draw from her wonderful memoir Running with the Bulls to hear stories about Hemingway’s later years, his writing process, and the stark difference between the dangerous summer of 1959 and the grim crises of 1960. 

Ms. Hemingway recollects her own Irish childhood and her development as a young journalist thrust into the exhilarating role as Hemingway’s secretary. She also looks back at her relationship with Papa, which was unlike any other in Hemingway’s life.

Join us for our conversation with this brilliant and charming raconteur about her crucial role in Hemingway's life and legacy. 

Andre Dubus III, author of House of Sand and Fog, Townie, and Gone So Long, talks about his one true Hemingway sentence from "Hills Like White Elephants."

One True Podcast takes a deep dive into Joan Miró’s masterpiece and Hemingway’s beloved possession, The Farm. 

We welcome art historian Alex Fernandez de Castro and journalist Hugh Eakin to discuss the meaning, history, and legacy of this powerful and infinitely mysterious painting. In our two-part interview, we cover Miró’s evolution as an artist, his similarities and differences with Hemingway, and the crucial importance of this painting in his storied career.

We also learn the mythology of how Hemingway bought The Farm, and ultimately, how it has now come to be housed in Washington, DC, at the National Gallery. 

Join us in our travels to Miró’s Farm!

In this episode I interview Carolina Quiroga--storyteller, performer, author, and host of the bilingual podcast Tres Cuentos. 

Tres Cuentos explores historical and literary narratives of Latin America. Last year, the podcast was mentioned by Oprah magazine as one of the best Latino and Spanish podcasts for learning and laughing.

In our conversation, Carolina shares the power of connecting with Latin American culture through its stories, music, and art. She also talks about her own language learning journey.

This interview is in Spanish.

Want to win a copy of Carolina's book The Hungry Goddess and the Five Suns?  It's a beautifully illustrated book that tells Aztec origin stories in English with Spanish expressions used throughout.  A great learning resource!  To enter, share this episode on Facebook or Instagram and tag us @learnspanishconsalsa and @tres_cuentos_podcast
