An imaginary trip through Barcelona thanks to Lluís Bussé, until September 10th. Have you ever thought about how the city would be if its most emblematic places were placed differently? The photographer Lluís Bussé has, and from that curious idea comes what is now an exhibit that you can see in Sala 2 of the Palau Robert.

The parallel universe of “Barcelona’s Multiverse” proposes things as crazy as the Sagrada Familia on the beach of Mar Bella, the Agbar Tower in Parc Güell, and surfers invading Plaça Catalunya, which are just a few examples of what you will find in the photomontages which make up the exhibit.

It's another Barcelona, a Barcelona that could exist in a parallel universe and which Bussé, a Doctor of Philosophy with a degree in Fine Arts, has created visually after traveling through the real Barcelona and taking thousands of photographs.

To make this possible the photographer has combined disciplines, he has mixed art and science, and has associated photography with cosmology, adapting the multiverse theory, or multiplicity of universes, which comes from the mathematician Hugh Everett.

“Barcelona’s Multiverse” is divided into three sections, which show respectively the already mentioned relocation of the most emblematic buildings and places, a Barcelona with canals in the style of Venice, and another built on the beach and sea. Outside of the exhibit you can find the photographs, in black and white, in the book of the same name which has been published in English through a collaboration with the Barcelona City Council.

If you are in Barcelona Urbany Hostel and want to have another vision half real, half dream of Barcelona, the youngest and most modern hostel in Barcelona you recommend!

There’s nowhere like Barcelona or Seville to spend Easter Week - no cities in Spain can touch it for sheer style, looks or energy.

Barcelona is for all its outrageous architecture, designer shopping, hip bars and vibrant cultural scene, Barcelona is more than just this year's fad. It's a confident, progressive city, tirelessly self-renewing while preserving all that's best about its past. As neighborhoods are rebuilt with panache, and locals and visitors alike pursue the latest sensation, there's also an enduring embrace of the things that make life worth living – the daily market visit, strolling down the Ramblas, a lazy harbourside lunch, frenetic festival nights, Sunday by the beach or FC Barcelona's next big game.

Things that you cannot miss if you're in Barcelona Urbany Hostels:

• Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (MNAC): The National Museum of Art celebrates the grandeur of Romanesque and Gothic art, two periods in which Catalunya artists were pre-eminent in Spain.
• The Ramblas: A stroll down Barcelona's famous thoroughfare is a must for both tourists and locals alike. 6 La Boqueria The city's best known market presents an extraordinary range of fresh produce.
• La Pedrera: is a building designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí and built during the years 1905–1910, being considered officially completed in 1912.
• Castell de Montjuïc: The ramparts of the hill-top Bourbon fortress offer an eagle-eye view of the city.
• Tibidabo: Scale the heights of Mount Tibidabo for fantastic views and a wonderful amusement park.
• Sagrada Família: the temple dedicated to the Sacred Family is the essential pilgrimage for Gaudí fans.
• Fundació Joan Miró: The adventurous Fundació Joan Miró celebrates the work of one of the greatest Catalan artists.
• Camp Nou: Home of FC Barcelona, one of Europe's premier sides, with a cabinet full of trophies to prove it.
• Parc Güell: The city's most extraordinary park is a fantasy land born of Antoni Gaudí's fertile imagination.

And if you stay at Sevilla Urbany Hostel, we recommended Seville's old city – where you'll want to spend most of your time – is sited along the east bank of the Guadalquivir. At its heart, side by side, stand the three great monuments: the Giralda tower, the Catedral and the Alcázar, with the cramped alleyways of the Barrio Santa Cruz, the medieval Jewish quarter and now the heart of tourist life, extending east.

Seville's reputation for gaiety and brilliance, for theatricality and intensity of life does seem deserved. It's expressed on a phenomenally grand scale at the city's two great festivals – Semana Santa (Holy Week at Easter) and the week-long Feria de Abril (starting two weeks after Easter Sunday).

On Saturday, December 24, the Magic Mountain of Barcelona, Tibidabo, will host the traditional 'Peace Song', within the Amusement Park. Year after year, the traditional 'Song of Piece' is celebrated in the Fairground of the Tibidabo since 1996. It is an act of solidarity that aims to promote education in values such as tolerance and respect through music. This year's nativity scene on Plaça de Sant Jaume takes its inspiration from Catalan culture and traditional art, with a copy of a Romanesque chapel in ruins and a typically Mediterranean landscape.

One year on and the classic scenes of the annunciation, the Three Kings of the Orient and the birth of Jesus are once again the highlights of the nativity scene, though this year's settings take their inspiration from the landscapes, figures and architecture of Catalonia's deep-rooted Romanesque tradition. During their walk round this truly Catalan nativity scene, visitors will be accompanied by Mediterranean sounds such as the sea and bells ringing. If you haven't yet taken the opportunity to see it, we strongly recommend you treat yourselves to a visit any time from 10 to 8.30 pm, every day from now until 8 January!
