Holy Week is here already! In Spanish it is called Semana Santa and especially the celebrations which take place in the South of Spain are worldwide popular. In Barcelona isn’t very active, also because of the cosmopolitan nature of the city.

Were you looking for another reason why to stay at the Urbany Hostel Barcelona?

Book your bed for next Saturday and you will have the great opportunity to participate to one of our Paella Parties to celebrate spring in our cool terrace!

Taste this Spanish traditional dish for free, enjoying the good atmosphere and socialising with other backpackers who are staying in the hostel. While having a drink at our bar, at sunset you will have a special view of the Torre Agbar blue and red lighted.

DON'T MISS IT!

WHEN: Sat 4/04/09
TIME: 8pm
WHERE: 3rd floor

As announced, on the 6th of March we opened the exhibition “La Dimensión Conocida”, with 3d photos by Federico Juarez and Sebastián Tolosa.

This was the first of a series of exhibitions we will launch about once a month in our Tolc Bar, just next door the Urbany Hostel Barcelona, where backpackers are always welcome for coffee, drinks or proper meals… we serve menus at lunch time. 

On the occasion of this particular event, quite a bunch of people came to see the work of these two young photographers, wearing funny 3D glasses provided by the artists.

The exhibition will be on until the beginning of April. Don’t forget to visit it on your stay in Barcelona!!

You will find more picture on our flickr page or facebook .

Probably not everyone knows that at the ground floor of the Barcelona Hostel Urbany we also have a bar and restaurant, the Tolc Bar. It is also a local cultural community headquarters and here you can easily meet a spot of the most genuine Barcelona life. Among tables, where local people will often be playing cards and domino, you will find two examples of the popular Gigants (huge giants with effigies of kings, queens and nobles who often march in traditional parades in town) and a Drac (a giant dragon used in traditional parades, shooting sparkles out of a stick).
