Sevilla Urbany Blog

Hi guys!

Depeche Mode will come to Seville on the 12th of July! Do you have your tickets? The cheapest tickets are 45€ and just for a few Euros more you can sleep in Sevilla Urbany Hostel and you can enjoy the best atmosphere for the best concert!

Depeche Mode is an English electronic music band, formed in Basildon (Essex) in 1980. They are considered the best in this type of music. They are the precursor of the use of the sampler and the synthesizer as musical instruments.

Just 5 minutes walking from Urbany Hostel, in the opposite direction to the Cathedral, you will find Alameda Neighborhood. The long and large square is the meeting place for many sevillian people, so this is a good place to go if you don't like to be just another tourist. 

A bit of history...

This place was a swampy area until the 16th century, Earl of Barajas ordered to plant big trees and build beautiful fountains.  He adorned the square with four roman colums found in an old sevillian house. The two in the northside, with lions and coats of arms on the top, represents one Seville, and the other one Spain. The two colums in the southside have Hércules on the top (founder of the city) and Julius Caesar (restorer of Seville). 

From the 2nd of October until the 11th of January, Seville is the capital of Contemporary Art. 

The exhibition, call Youniverse, will get 150 international artists together during more than three months, and the visitors will be the main protagonist.

We propose to Urbany Hostel customers to raise the relationship between Art, Architecture, Science and Tecnology through this exhibition.
