Additional Information

The first stop on our Picasso tour is outside the Els Quatre Gats Restaurant, a Modernist building that was a tavern when Picasso lived in Barcelona. It was also a gathering spot for artists, the very first place he exhibited his genius. We’ll continue to the Sala Parès, an art gallery. Picasso and other Barcelonian artists once exhibited their paintings here. We may even step inside to see how it’s changed over the years! Our next stop is at Carrer d’Avinyó 44, where Picasso frequented the brothel once located there. The women who worked there inspired his famous piece, Les Demoiselles d’Avinyó, now one of the finest examples of his Cubists works. As the walking tour comes to a close, we’ll pass by La Llotja, a historical building that once hosted the Fine Arts Academy where Picasso studied as a teenager. It’s now time to finish your Picasso walking tour at the entrance of Picasso Museum. Your guide will tell you what to look for during your self-guided visit to the museum.

Picasso causal walking - Daria explains patiently, very clearly, and is very responsible to take care of every visitor. In addition to introducing Picasso's deeds, she will also introduce some popular local shops along the way. The entire journey is leisurely and not too rushed, allowing you to stroll through Picasso's childhood, life, and places he visited.

Enjoyable walking tour - Our tour guide Owen Eoghan made the walking tour very enjoyable. He has a great sense of humor, knew how to engage us and was very knowledgeable. We were in a small group of 6 which made it even more enjoyable. We felt like we knew Picasso's life when we were done which was quite helpful when touring the museum. Owen was also kind enough to share some of his favorite food spots with us after the tour.

Eoghan knows a TON about Pablo! - Eoghan lead us on an inspiring tour of Barcelona’s Gothic Barrio with a history lesson of Pablo’s life and especially his time in Barcelona. We learned about Pablo’s genius and his circuitous route to Paris and the creation of the museum in his honor. Highly recommend this tour!

Nice prelude to the museum visit - Daria was really good and showed us around Picasso’s old haunts. Learnt how his life events had influenced his stylistic changes. Also pointed out many Catalan cultural heritage. The tour ends at the museum and I spent two hours there. The museum shop was very good. One advice: Google map was quite confusing with the request for ‘Avinguda del Portal del Angel in Plaa de Carles Pi i Sunyer’ for some reason it kept pointing me to further up the road. Thank goodness I live chatted with Viator and Vesna was great, pointed me to the group right next to a shop called ‘Tenzen@@’ , the public bikes were red in color.
