With ExperienceFirst as your experience provider, embark on a captivating journey through Picasso's life in Barcelona, the city where he established his roots at the tender age of 14.

The first stop on our Picasso tour is outside the Els Quatre Gats Restaurant, an architectural gem of the Modernist era. During Picasso's time in Barcelona, this establishment was a tavern and a pivotal meeting point for artists—the very place where he first showcased his exceptional talent.

We'll then proceed to the Sala Parès, which was once a paint shop and is now transformed into an art gallery. Picasso and other local artists once exhibited their works within these walls. If possible, we may step inside to witness the evolution of this space over the years.

Our next stop takes us to Carrer d'Avinyó 44, a location frequented by Picasso during his time in Barcelona. This was once the site of a brothel, and the women who worked there served as the inspiration behind his renowned masterpiece, Les Demoiselles d'Avinyó, now celebrated as one of his finest Cubist creations.

As our walking tour nears its conclusion, we'll pass by La Llotja, a historic building that once housed the Fine Arts Academy where Picasso pursued his studies during his teenage years. Today, it continues to serve as a vibrant cultural center.

The culmination of your Picasso walking tour brings us to the picturesque Carrer Montcada, a medieval street at the entrance of the Picasso Museum (or Museu Picasso de Barcelona in Catalan). Your guide will provide you with insights on what to explore during your self-guided visit to the museum. Here, you'll uncover the unique relationship Picasso shared with Barcelona and witness how the city both influenced and shaped his artistry.
