Settling into Andalusia for a season or a year is a different language problem from passing through it on holiday — Andalusian for Travel and Daily Life is the book that answers the second problem. Twenty-four chapters cover viewing a flat in a southern barrio, signing the lease, dealing with the casero, the empadronamiento and Spanish residency paperwork, opening a bank account, setting up utilities and a Spanish phone number, the slow rhythms of a gestoría, the differences between the frutería, the mercado central, and the supermarket, seguridad social and the centro de salud, the dentista, the taller mecánico, the peluquería, the school registration, the parent-teacher meeting, correos and parcel handling, complaints and hoja de reclamaciones, a long sobremesa lunch with neighbours, the romería and the rural festival, and the small Spanish ceremonies of welcome. Reference appendices supply formal-register phrases, a bureaucratic vocabulary list, and a southern cultural-protocol summary.
