Overview

Picasso had a deep passion for Barcelona, and this tour is designed to show you why.

He arrived in the city in 1895 at just 13 years old. It was here that he experienced his first youthful adventures with friends—those who first recognized his extraordinary talent—and discovered the hidden pleasures of the city’s nightlife.

Barcelona was also where Picasso established his first studio and created his earliest engravings and illustrations. It was here that he held his very first exhibition at the legendary restaurant Els Quatre Gats.

At 22, Picasso moved to Paris and never returned permanently, but Barcelona always remained the dazzling city that inspired his youth and revealed the spirit of modernity to him.

It occupies the block formed by the Passeig d’Isabel II, the Pla de Palau and the streets of Reina Cristina and Llauder, plots of land that were urbanized in 1834 as a result of the demolition of the sea wall. The building was the first to appear in daguerreotype done in Spain and is decorated with Masonic symbols.

Museu Picasso

The Picasso museum is a key reference for understanding the formative years of Pablo Picasso. The genius of the young artist is revealed through the 4,251 works that make up the permanent collection. Furthermore, the Picasso museum, opened in 1963, also reveals his deep relationship with Barcelona: an intimate, solid relationship that was shaped in his adolescence and youth and continued until his death.

Els 4Gats

Els Quatre Gats, at 3, Carrer Montsió, was the tavern founded by Pere Romeu, Ramon Casas, Santiago Rusiñol, Miquel Utrillo and others in 1897, in imitation of Rodolphe Salis’s Parisian cabaret, Le Chat Noir, for the purpose of holding gatherings for artists, as a concert and exhibition hall, and for puppet shows and shadow plays. The premises were on the ground floor of a fine building designed by Puig i Cadafalch and it advertised itself as a «gothic beer hall for those who love the North and an Andalusian courtyard for those who love the South». The bar itself was in the smaller room, with two large pictures by Casas in a prominent position and advertising posters, one of which was for the menu and was painted by Picasso. The exhibitions and concerts were held in the larger room.
