Welcome to our very first episode of Awkward Holas, the podcast that gives you the real deal on cultural mishaps and embarrassing moments that travel guides conveniently omit!

This episode introduces your hosts: two Americans who've made Andalucía, Southern Spain their home. We'll share our journey of moving abroad and the delightful Spanish-isms we've discovered along the way. Did you know the finest Spanish jamón comes from pigs fed exclusively on acorns? That's just a taste of the cultural insights awaiting you!

In celebration of "Día de Andalucía" – the February holiday honoring our adopted region – we've gathered perspectives from international friends who share their unique views of Andalucía. From linguistic mishaps to cultural revelations, join us for this inaugural adventure as we dive into the beautiful chaos of expat life in Spain!
