¿SABES EL ORIGEN DE LA PALABRA SALARIO?

Imagínate a un legionario romano después de una campaña. No le pagaban con monedas de oro ni con denarios… le daban un saquito de sal.

La sal era carísima, servía para conservar la carne, para curar heridas y hasta como moneda de cambio. Ese pago en sal se llamaba salarium.

Con el tiempo el salarium se convirtió en el sueldo que conocemos hoy. Por eso, cuando dices “me pagan el salario”, en realidad estás hablando de la ración de sal que recibían los soldados hace 2000 años.

Curioso cómo algo tan básico como la sal terminó definiendo cómo nos ganan la vida.

Venga, va… si te ha gustado, like, comparte y si no me sigues, ¿a qué esperas?

🎶❤️ "Take My Breath Away" by the band Berlin is one of those songs that takes us back to the 80s in just a few seconds.

Released in 1986, the song achieved global fame as part of the soundtrack for *Top Gun*, starring Tom Cruise. It became one of the band's biggest hits, winning both an Academy Award for Best Original Song and a Golden Globe.

"Walk Like an Egyptian” – The Joyful March That Conquered the World, the All-Girl Spark, and the Song That Turned a Decade Into a Dance

On a brightly lit stage in 1986, four women move with effortless command. Susanna Hoffs stands at the center, blonde hair catching the lights, tambourine raised high, voice bright and precise. Beside her, Michael Steele holds the bass with cool confidence, Vicki Peterson drives the guitar lines, and Debbi Peterson anchors everything from the drums. The camera catches their faces, their synchronized steps, the playful energy that fills the room. This is not a performance that tries to look dangerous or profound. It simply invites everyone in. And that invitation became one of the purest expressions of 1980s joy.

The song itself was never meant to be a manifesto. Written by Liam Sternberg and handed to The Bangles during the sessions for *Different Light*, “Walk Like an Egyptian” arrived almost as a curiosity. The band was divided about it at first. Yet once the track left the studio, it refused to stay small. The clipped guitar riff, the handclaps, the sudden shifts in vocal duties—each member taking a verse—created a sound that felt both exotic and completely familiar. It was pop music with a wink, clever enough to feel smart and simple enough to make an entire generation move their arms in that stiff, sideways walk.

What the 1986 performance captures so clearly is the group’s chemistry. Unlike many acts of the era that centered a single star, The Bangles operated as a true unit. Susanna’s voice may have drawn the most immediate attention—its sweetness carrying a quiet strength—but the song lives in the interplay. When the harmonies stack, when the instruments lock together, the stage feels alive with shared power. In an industry that often treated all-female bands as novelties, this performance quietly proves the opposite. Talent, timing, and presence were never the question.

The cultural moment only sharpened its impact. 1986 sat in the middle of a decade that loved spectacle, color, and escape. While darker songs of the era confronted chaos and unease, “Walk Like an Egyptian” offered something rarer: pure, unapologetic playfulness. It asked nothing heavier than a smile and a silly dance. That lightness became its strength. The track topped charts around the world, turned casual listeners into fans, and gave the band a new audience of young girls who suddenly saw four women owning a stage without apology.

Many still debate whether “Walk Like an Egyptian” is The Bangles’ greatest song. Compared with the melancholy of “Eternal Flame” or the sharp edge of “Hazy Shade of Winter,” it lacks emotional weight. Yet that absence of weight is exactly why it endures. It never tries to impress through darkness or complexity. It simply arrives, bright and rhythmic, and refuses to leave the memory. Every time the riff kicks in, every time those voices trade lines, the listener is pulled back into a moment when music could still feel like pure fun.

The most lasting quality of “Walk Like an Egyptian” is that it never agreed to grow serious. It still stands there, light on its feet, inviting the next generation to walk the same way. In the footage from 1986, you can already see it: four women, fully present, turning a quirky idea into something larger than themselves. The song does not need to be analyzed into profundity. It only needs to be felt—and for nearly four decades, that has been more than enough.

La biblioteca de mi tio, Álvaro Gómez Hurtado, era una joya.

Cuando era pequeño le hice una pregunta sobre una tarea de filosofía idealista para el colegio, se paró frente a su biblioteca, me mostró como un metro de libros, y me dijo: "mira, tú te lees de aquí hasta aquí, ahí resuelves todas esas inquietudes."

Era un metro de libros de todo tipo de autores sobre historia de la filosofía. Ese era él: siempre desafiante, siempre muy amable, y con un sentido de humor finísimo.

Florence, Italy 🇮🇹⚜️

When visitors come to Florence, many focus only on the magnificent Duomo and Brunelleschi’s incredible dome

Of course, they are absolutely worth seeing, but don’t ever forget Santa Croce, a truly breathtaking basilica

Construction began in the late 13th century, and it has a beautiful interior and a magnificent Neo-Gothic façade

It is the largest Franciscan church in the world and is often called the “Pantheon of Italian Glories”, because it houses the tombs of Michelangelo, Galileo, Machiavelli, Rossini, Foscolo and many others

Absolutely worth seeing and visiting

Just imagine the feeling in the morning, with its magnificent doors opening onto the square that bears its name ✨
