Spaniards in general are rather superstitious, especially in Andalucia, in the southern part of Spain. My maternal greatgrandmother was from Gibraltar, which is the southernmost part of the Iberian Peninsula, it's also a British territory as per the Treaty of Utrecht.
Catalans are described as subtle, serious, hard working people characterized by the term "seny" meaning common sense, or a pragmatic attitude toward life.
Andalusians, are witty, idealistic, and artistic.
I know this is stereotyping both Catalans and Andalusians, but I just wanted to make a point, that I have both sides in me. So as a catalan, I laugh at superstition, but my southern side sort of believes in it.
And the whole point of this little post, is that even though it was Tuesday the 13th, it was still a lovely day :)
