Magnitude 5.5 earthquake strikes near Almería

Low strength are somewhat frequent in the area, but often anecdotal. I usually vacation in the area, and they often just involve broken glassware that falls from shelves. A few larger ones have happened, but often the casualties are in the tens or less.
I slept through one a few years ago.
Is there another Almeria? It's so weird for people to go "Paris France" well of course Paris is in France duh
- I wasn't sure if people would immediately recognize Almería to be in Spain, as it is a city with about 200k inhabitants.
  
  I'd argue it be clearer between round brackets instead of behind a comma like states in the U.S.:
  Paris (France) over Paris, France.
- There's probably 2-3 Paris in the US.
  Same thing happens with Latin America and Spain. There's maybe an Almería in America.
  
  There’s like 8-9
