How to flirt with a man (or woman) from Almeria
So you like someone from Almeria huh? Sure, with that southern air , with that sea salt smell stuck to the skin and with the little that is known about us and our province, It is normal that you have let yourself be dragged.
At Condé Nast Traveler we want to help you in a totally altruistic way and always wishing you the best of luck. That's why, We hope to give you some keys so that you can achieve it.
The best thing is that we go slowly and in parts. First, you must not be from Almería because if you were, you wouldn't be reading this.
An Almerian does not need anyone to explain to him how to flirt in his territory , the 4 Streets have been his exercise book and they know their lesson. Or, perhaps, yes you are and what you are trying to recognize yourself and your seduction techniques throughout this text.

In any case, whether you are from abroad and someone from here has settled in your heart and has you mad or alive, or if you live in this corner of the old sea and want to review your notes; We are going to try to lend you a hand in this deed of yours.
Good luck and enjoy the trip that, as I said Raffaella Carrá "to make love well you have to come to the south" and to see who is the brave one who dares to contradict Carrá.
1. We want to make it easy for you when communicating with your in love or in love and, of course, with all the people with whom you are going to interact during your stay in Almeria -which we hope will be long, profitable and memorable-.
Remember that you are in the south and we are very given to long talks, laughter and compadreo , so, you will not get rid of engaging in one conversation after another. For this reason, you have at your disposal our basic dictionary to defend yourself if you travel to Almería . No problem.
two. I guess our accent and lack of final esses will appeal to you. and they will generate curiosity in equal parts and, even, we may even seem more Murcian than Andalusian. But you already knew that in Andalusia we don't all speak the same, right?

3. Also, you should be prepared to exaggerations, ironies and double meanings . But, above all, for the exaggerations.
Here, we not only talk to accent , but, in addition, you have to make the body to our curious sense of humor. We could say that the ability to inflate an anecdote or expression can reach a 9 out of 10 . To the point that, sometimes, beyond our borders it is not very well understood and it can create confusion.
More than once we have been asked to let's relax the level of irony and exaggeration from Almeria to the minimum possible if we want to be able to socialize without obstacles due to "because" of our humor. But here, friend, you play on their turf; so try not to be noticed if you don't get his mood.
Imagine a date here
Four. According to sources close to me and those who suffered from it, the people of Almeria -not all of them, I promise- we have a certain tendency to be late . Therefore, if your intention is to meet someone from Almería -which it is, because otherwise, we would not be talking about this- the most advisable thing is to carry out the technique that, after years of learning, my source carries out trustworthy: meet your date thirty minutes before the time you plan to show up, Well, maybe that way you'll get both of you to arrive at the same time.
And no one can fully assure you that this will happen. . So, if you want to meet at 10:00 p.m., you better tell him at 9:30 p.m. and hopefully he arrives, effectively, at 10:00 p.m. and you don't have to wait long.
5. Speaking of dating places, what's coming up now may seem strange to you, but here's how it works. The bars, pubs, restaurants and, in general, the majority of shops and stores have a first and last name.
The first corresponds to its current name and the second to one of the names it had at some point in history. It will do you good to remember not only what it is called now, but also how he did it before. How far back in time do I go back with "before"? You never know, but we often refer to them by one of their previous names.
So I recommend that you get drunk their nomenclatures from the year 1980 to the present day, approximately . A practical example: “we met at the door of _(insert the name of the place in question here) _, which was the _(insert here any of the ancestral names that said place had over the last three decades) _ . And so with everything.

6. And, of course, you better like going out for tapas because in Almería it is a lifestyle . Almost like a religion with clear rituals that should not be missed.
A few beers, a summer red wine with a free tapa on a terrace It is something like a mandatory activity with the arrival of the long-awaited weekend, which, perfectly, can start on Thursday night -or Wednesday if you push me-.
7. unless it rains of course . Because, then, the people of Almería, -who, as everyone knows, runs through our veins the very blood of the Wicked Witch of the West , and we melt until we disappear without the rainwater falling on us- we are forced to cancel any plan and take refuge under cover until that terrible atmospheric phenomenon that makes us unable to drive normally ends.
But that, instead, brings with it a local gastronomic wonder and of which we have already spoken before: the crumbs So, take the opportunity to stay with your Almerian at home and hover under canopy.
Have you succeeded? WE KNEW IT
8. And when the sun rises -which will be about 320 days a year-, propose a getaway to Cabo de Gata . There is no Almerian who rejects that because it is probably their favorite place in the world and they will tell you that those of the Cape are the best beaches in Spain.
But, beware, not only we say it. Plus, you'll be doing yourself a favor, believe me, because you will discover a place that will remain installed in your soul forever.
9. And in case you had wondered and wanted to drop it at some point: yes, from Almería as David Bisbal. No, not all Almerian people know about it. And yes, there are also other famous Almerian people throughout history, such as the guitarist little tomato; Nicholas Salmeron , politician, philosopher and president of the First Spanish Republic; the singer Manolo Escobar either Carmen de Burgos , the first woman journalist in Spain.
10. Finally, if you like to eat, a fairly infallible technique to get a little more attention from your Almerian love is to admit in his presence that you have never tasted typical recipes from Almería .
We, if you want, will give you a clue of some native dishes that you can name, because the list is endless: the chérigan, the innkeeper, the bouillabaisse soup, the gurullos and to close, the Americano del Amalia Kiosk.
Most likely, if everything goes as it should, then you already have a plan for lunch, dinner or even both. Everything that happens after we leave it in your hands , which we have already done enough.
We retire, like Mary Poppins, in search of others who, like you, need our help to dive in the depths of Almeria.
