Counting the Balearic Islands and Canary Islands, Spain has a total of 14 state-level administrative regions, which provided more foundation for the establishment of Barcelona Special City.
As everyone knows, the number 13 is a taboo in the Western world.
The earliest saying comes from the traditions of Christianity. According to the Bible, Jesus had dinner with 12 disciples before his crucifixion. The 13th attendee was Judas, who betrayed Jesus, and the date of this dinner is also considered by Christianity to be the 13th, closely associating the number with betrayal and suffering.
The famous painting "The Last Supper" by Da Vinci further propagated this biblical story, reinforcing the negative connotations of the number 13.
Although the influence of religion on European countries has gradually weakened, whether among the populace or the upper echelons of governments, people avoid the number 13 as much as possible.
