What are some Superstitions in Spain?

By , About.com Guide

Here are a few superstitions that are common in Spain:

  • When offering a toast, look every person in the group in the eye

  • Never toast with a glass of water If you do you'll get seven years' bad sex!

  • Your last drink in a bar is your 'penultima' Because your 'ultima' drink would be the last in your life!

  • Tuesday, not Friday, the 13th is unlucky "Martes 13: ni te cases, ni te embarques" (Tues 13th: Don´t get married, nor board [a ship or plane]")

  • A lighter shouldn't be shared among more than three people

  • A salt shaker should not be passed from hand to hand Instead, it must be placed on the table, for the other person to pick it up themselves.

  • When pouring liquid from a bottle, the bottom of the bottle should face away from the body and poured towards the body If the opposite is done, that glass should be thrown in the steet.

  • If, while sweeping, the broom hits the feet of a single person, that person will never marry
