About this experience
Journey through Picasso’s exciting life in Barcelona. We’ll visit Els Quatre Gats Restaurant, a former tavern that was a gathering spot for artists and became the very first place Picasso exhibited his genius.
Continue to the Sala Parès, a paint shop turned gallery. Here, Picasso and others once exhibited their paintings. We may even step inside to see how it’s changed over the years!
At Carrer d'Avinyó 44, you’ll hear how the women inspired his famous piece, Les Demoiselles d'Avinyó. There’s more on our tour, but we wrap up at the picturesque Carrer Montcada, a medieval street at the entrance of Picasso Museum. Your guide will share tips on what to look for during your self-guided visit.
If you’ve chosen the food and wine upgrade, a guide will escort you from the museum to a private room in one of Barcelona’s best wine shops. Savor a variety of cheeses, cured meats, Catalan tomato bread, and premium wines with a sommelier to lead this culinary experience.
