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).

Make a night at Urbany Hostels!
