Guiri () is a colloquial Spanish name used in Spain applied to foreigners. The term ''guiri'' is a popular name for gorse (Ulex europaeus), a spiny bush with yellow flowers. == Source == According to the Real Academia Dictionary, this word can be traced back to 19th century Carlist Wars in the form "guiristino," the pronunciation of Basque-speaking Carlist forces of the name of their enemies, the Cristinos (after regent Queen Maria Cristina). "Guiri" is used by the inhabitants of Reus for visitors from near the city of Tarragona. It is also widely used as a depreciative term by inhabitants of the Balearic islands, Mallorca, Ibiza and Menorca, as well as the Costa del Sol, for pale visitors usually from European countries. A brief web search of the term "los guiris" is sufficient to see its widespread use, although a depreciative term in some areas, in many Spanish sites and even local TV and Radio. Finally, there is a theory that it derives from Moroccan Arabic ''gaouri'', which in turn stems from Ottoman Turkish ''gâvur''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Guiri」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
