No Ni Ná: A Brit’s Guide to Surviving Life and Language in Andalucía

What happens when an Englishman moves to southern Spain thinking it's temporary and never quite leaves?No Ni Ná is a funny, honest, and affectionate account of learning to live in Andalucía, where "now" doesn't always mean now, food appears without being ordered, and conversations take scenic routes before arriving exactly where they need to be.Through everyday moments, cultural misunderstandings, and linguistic disasters, Adam Harrison navigates Andalusian life one expression at a time. From family lunches that never end, beach days that feel like moving house, and paperwork that requires faith rather than logic, this is a story about slowing down, letting go, and accidentally belonging.This isn't a guidebook, and it's not a language manual. It's a collection of stories about adapting, listening, and learning that sometimes the best thing you can do is stop trying to understand everything.If you've ever lived abroad, dreamed of doing so, or wondered why Andalucía feels different even by Spanish standards, this book is for you.And if you already know what No Ni Ná means, you're already halfway in.
