Lying somewhere between travel book and cultural journalism, this publication, which comes in Catalan, Spanish and English editions, offers a literary and visual tour of the landscapes writers have used for portraying Barcelona and raising it to the category of immortal literary myth. A total of sixteen urban itineraries and two locations from memory that raise the question in our minds as to whther the city we live in or the imaginary one is more real, and whther the first would have been the same if the second had not existed.
