Belief of Spanish People in building a house.


  1. Spaniards believe that if you build a house, the stairs should not be in fromt of any door. It can be in front of the door as long as the door is not facing the gate of the house. They believe that if the stairs is aligned with the door and the door is also aligned with the gate, the blessing will run away from you. That's why that there should be something or a balcony which prevents the stairs stairs in aligning with the gate. For short it means that the stairs should not be aligned with the door and gate.
  1. Another belief is that when you build a house you should decide if how many steps there'll be because in every step there are meanings. There are actually 3 counts. You should start counting from Uro. Then Plata. Last will be Mata. The last step of the stairs should end in Uro.
          •Uro- it means gold.
          •Plata- it means silver
          •Mata- it means death.

3. The toilets should be outside of the house.
4. Rooms are interconnected with each other. This idea is ideal when the family have a visistor. It is for the children not to interrupt their parents when they're talking with the visitors. Interconnected rooms allows them to go around the house without disturbing the visitors.
5. There are 2 stairs in the house. The girls passes in the other stairs while the boys in the other stairs. If there's only one stairs, they should pass in not the same side.
6. When a house is painted with color white, the owner is not that rich. If it's painted with other colors, the owner is rich enough that they can afford to buy colored paint. Colored paint ,excluding white, shows that you are a rich and noble man.
Here's an example of a telephone long ago.
-It has a note in there because it is already very old and it might be broken if people will keep on touching it.
