in English, a "common-law marriage". not to worry. As you must know if you live in Andalucia, many couples are not married officially. No problems with hotels, etc.

hmmm, what country do you come from?

It sounds like just a legal attestation that you are not already married.

This is what the US State Dept says about this:
<<Affidavit of Eligibility to Marry: Some countries require an affidavit by the parties as proof of legal capacity to enter into a marriage contract. No such government-issued document exists in the United States. You may execute such an affidavit at a U.S. embassy or consulate. The U.S. embassy or consulate cannot attest to your marital status; however, most countries will accept a statement from you regarding your ability to marry if your signature on the affidavit has been notarized by a U.S. consular officer.>>

And this is what the US consulate in Barcelona says:
<<3. Proof Both Parties Are Free to Marry (Fe de Soltería): No document equivalent to the "Fe de Solteria y Vida" exists in the United States. Spanish authorities will accept a sworn statement from the U.S. citizen affirming that he/she is single and free to marry executed before the U.S. Consul. This document is in Spanish. To obtain one please bring your current U.S. passport.
If you are divorced, we suggest you to bring a copy of the divorce decree to be able to complete the affidavit properly.
Fee: There is a fee of US$ 50.00 (or the equivalent in Euros) for each affidavit and may be done at the same time as items 5 and 6.>>


I know US citizens have gotten married abroad, even legally (often it isn't a real wedding), so you could try that advice about what to do. Go to your embassy in Spain or consulate and see if they will notarize it.
