Detailed itinerary

We will start at the Face of Barcelona to introduce the tour and delve into the life of the young Picasso in Barcelona.

First stop to discover Picasso's first artistic studio, followed by a brief tapas tasting to enjoy the most local cuisine in the city.

Probably the most significant stop of the young artist, thanks to Carrer Avinyó, not only changed his life but the history of art, taking it to a new universal dimension.

Let's enter Petritxol Street, the cradle of chocolate and Barcelona art to discover the first art gallery in which a young and unknown Pablo Picasso exhibited.

We will visit Els 4 Gats, to enjoy a glass of cava that will take us back in time, to the bohemian and modernist Barcelona of the late 19th century.

Picasso's work is not only enjoyed in the Museum, we also have it in the Plaça Nova, his three works are as visible as they are so ignored at the same time. We will put into context the ''why'' of the absence of his signature.

Stop 7

Before the last big gastronomic stop, we said goodbye to the artist in front of the Museu Picasso, the result of a successful life forged in Barcelona.
Barcelona without Picasso, would not be the same, Picasso without Barcelona, neither.

We will finish this artistic and culinary experience in one of the city's gastronomic references, to taste those Spanish dishes that Picasso adored so much.
