But once, in the heart of Paris, a man nearly pulled it off. Not once. Twice. Yes, the Eiffel Tower was almost sold.

La historia detrás de los números de la suerte y de la mala suerte en todo el mundo

Have you ever skipped a hotel floor because it was numbered thirteen? Or hesitated before choosing a number that “just didn’t feel right”?

La colonia perdida de Roanoke: un misterio aún sin resolver

When John White set sail from England in 1587, he left behind over 100 settlers on the shores of Roanoke Island, full of promises and plans. When he returned three years later, they were gone. No bodies. No signs of struggle. No graves. Just one word carved into a tree: “CROATOAN.” It became one of… <a class="read-more" href="https://yoamore.com/es/the-lost-colony-of-roanoke-a-mystery-still-unsolved/">Continuar leyendo</a>

Walking Under Ladders: A Superstition Rooted in Religion?

Supersticiones y creencias culturales 19 May, 2025

Caminar bajo escaleras: ¿una superstición con raíces religiosas?

You see it ahead: a ladder leaning casually against a wall, its legs stretched over the sidewalk. Nothing dramatic. Nothing that should matter. And yet something in you tightens. Your steps shift. You walk around. Not because you’re clumsy. Not because you’re superstitious. At least, not out loud. But still—you don’t walk under it. There’s… <a class="read-more" href="https://yoamore.com/es/walking-under-ladders/">Continuar leyendo</a>

El complot nazi para matar a Winston Churchill con chocolate explosivo

It sounds like something ripped from the pages of a dark comedy or a James Bond screenplay written by a surrealist. But this plot—real, chilling, and utterly bizarre—was forged in the depths of Nazi Germany’s obsession with assassinating a man they feared more than most. Their target: Winston Churchill. Their weapon of choice: chocolate. Yes,… <a class="read-more" href="https://yoamore.com/es/to-kill-winston-churchill-with-exploding-chocolate/">Continuar leyendo</a>

¿Por qué se cuelgan herraduras para la buena suerte?

You’ve probably seen one. Nailed above a door. Curved, weathered, maybe even a bit rusty. And yet it stays there, untouched. A quiet guardian and a symbol older than electricity, older than the buildings it protects. But have you ever stopped to ask—why horseshoes are hung for good luck? It’s not a trend. It’s a… <a class="read-more" href="https://yoamore.com/es/why-horseshoes-are-hung-for-good-luck/">Continuar leyendo</a>

Cómo protegerse del mal de ojo: tradiciones y talismanes explicados

A sideways glance. A compliment that feels too sharp. A stranger’s gaze that lingers too long. Across cultures and centuries, there’s a shared, almost instinctive fear that some looks don’t just observe—they harm. And behind that fear lives one of humanity’s oldest and most enduring beliefs: the evil eye. For some, it’s superstition. For others,… <a class="read-more" href="https://yoamore.com/es/warding-off-the-evil-eye/">Continuar leyendo</a>

La vez que el Papa sometió a juicio un cadáver (Sínodo sobre los Cadáveres)

Have you heard of time the pope put a corpse on trial? History is full of strange stories, but few are as haunting—or surreal—as the day a pope exhumed his dead predecessor and placed the rotting body on trial.

Curiosidades lingüísticas 22 Apr, 2025

¿Son estos los modismos más extraños jamás pronunciados?

Language doesn’t just communicate—it paints pictures. But some of those pictures are strange. A cat in someone’s throat? A potato in someone’s jacket? Fish falling from the sky? Idioms are where language stops being literal and becomes emotional, symbolic, and—sometimes—completely bizarre. Across cultures, these expressions carry meaning that logic alone can’t explain. They are often… <a class="read-more" href="https://yoamore.com/es/are-these-the-weirdest-idioms-ever-spoken/">Continuar leyendo</a>
