The Magic Gate: a room escape full of fantasyA master named August Bumbledore challenges you to give you your official magician's wand. It will be your last test and therefore your last chance to get it. To overcome the test you will have to enter his rooms and find the magic door. Discovering it will be the definitive proof to prove that you are authentic magicians. Many have tried before you, and as often happens in these cases, very few have succeeded. You will need to deploy all your skills, and use some spell you will have learned in this school. There are 60 minutes left for the grand master to return to his office to rest, and he will not like to find you snooping around in his things ...

Let's celebrate. We have a bit of 2018 left. Time for celebration and balance. We celebrate, yes, but do we really balance or do the media do it? Rather that. Although there must be something because the kiosks after summer and at the beginning of the year are filled, or were filled, of fascicles to start a collection, a language course ... a new beginning. I have to do something and change the course. Let us also hope that the world in general takes a good course. Social and environmental, and that will require good political direction, although we experience fatigue.

Hits - TricicleCarles Sans, Joan Gràcia and Paco Mir, that is, Tricicle, they have been making us laugh with their personal and unrepeatable humor without words for more than 30 years. This circumstance has allowed them to perform in many countries and currently, Tricicle, is considered by critics as one of the best companies in the world of comedic mime. And this show that is presented at the Victòria Theater will be his farewell to the stage. Did you see "Manicomic", "Slastic" or "Terrífic? Or did you get to them later with the "Sit" chairs? Then came "Garrick" and his latest new creation show "Bits".

Guided night tour at the Fabra ObservatoryCarl Sagan, in the TV series "Cosmos", told us that our star, the Sun, is second or third generation and that all the material we step on, the iron that travels through our blood, the calcium that forms the teeth and the carbon in our genes they were created a billion years ago inside a giant red star. Sagan concluded his explanation with one of the most famous phrases of the series "we are made of star stuff". The phrase helped us to become more interested in the universe. With this guided visit to the Fabra Observatory, you will not travel as far as Sagan proposed, you will stay in our Cosmos neighborhood, but you can feel the experience of coming into contact with the Universe.

Cheap gas stations in Barcelona | Gasoline, diesel and biodiesel pricesFinding a gas station cheaper than another in Barcelona will save us more than a few cents. The difference, filling a tank with 50 liters, can be € 11 for gasoline, € 10 for diesel and € 7 for biodiesel. Resources to compare and list fuel prices by cities there are many. What we want to explain in this article has to do with the other important variable at the time of refueling: the location of cheap gas stations.

Picasso - Picabia. Painting in questionWhen Picasso and Picabia were little known, the press often confused them by the similarity of their names. This anecdote was perhaps the harbinger of an ambiguous relationship between two apparently antagonistic painters in their way of understanding art. In the first stage of their career they exhibited in the same gallery (1904) but their trajectories crossed in few occasions during that stage. This exhibition, however, reveals for the first time the numerous points in common of their work and the crossed histories of these two great contemporary painters, as well as their relationship and attitude towards the same changing reality.

Halloween in Barcelona: parties, concerts and outstanding activitiesTrick or Treating. In the case of Barcelona we should say Halloween or Castanyada, although it seems that Halloween is winning, well, let's say it: it has won. Something of fusion has taken place but in this case the external tradition is the one that has taken the leading role.

The InfluencersThe Influencers is a festival of rebellious projects that combines art, politics, technology and new popular electronic cultures. This edition, the 14th, in which women take center stage, will revolve around the notion of the new digital dark age, approaching the symbolic, political and material contradictions of what we summarily call "internet" and that is much more what it seems like. As featured activities: a cryptorave (you'll have to become a computer miner to get the ticket and know where it takes place), a workshop on decentralized web publishing methods, and the Barcelona Internet Tour, a kind of tourist tour in non tourist places in key of performance and profane lighting.
