P.S. Guiri is a spanish word that is applied to foreigners, specially those from
northern Europe and USA.

The following web page contains an extensive definition, I don't agree with
everything (please don't take it as an offensive word), but it captures the
idea: http://gospain.about.com/od/spanishlife/tp/guiri.htm

I would say that if you avoid points (1) and (5), then you're fine.
