文化背景

The game 'La gallinita ciega' is a cultural touchstone. It's often the first time children encounter the concept of acting 'a ciegas' in a playful, safe environment. In Mexican business culture, 'confianza' is key. Doing business 'a ciegas' with a friend is often preferred over doing business with a stranger with lots of data. Argentines often use 'a ciegas' in the context of their volatile economy, describing the feeling of not knowing what the inflation will be tomorrow. The 'Blind Date' (cita a ciegas) is a relatively modern import from Anglo culture, but it has been fully adopted in urban centers across the Spanish-speaking world.
