Full description

Join this original art tour to discover the artistic treasures of Barcelona, a city where artists such as Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Joan Miró and Antoni Gaudi were able to unleash their creativity and break the concept of art. Follow Pablo Picasso’s in the Old Town with a Private Art Guide!

Book this 2-hour walking tour to see Barcelona through the eyes of Picasso and other Catalan and Spanish artists who lived and worked here. Your Private Guide will meet you at La Rambla street, a popular hangout for local artists. You will see the ornate Güell Palace, one of the earliest examples of Antoni Gaudi’s modernist architecture, and explore the winding streets of the Gothic Quarter to find the places that inspired Picasso’s sketches and paintings.

Picasso’s family moved to Barcelona in 1895 after the death of his little sister, and he began his artistic journey there. You will see Carrer d’Avinyo, where he visited prostitute women who later became the inspiration for his masterpiece ‘The Young Ladies of Avignon’, and Carrer dels Escudellers, where he had a studio in 1899. The tour will continue along the seafront Passeig de Colom, where you will see the former residence of Picasso’s first wife, the Russian ballerina Olga Khokhlova. You will pass Roy Lichtenstein’s abstract sculpture El Cap de Barcelona, the Royal Academy of Arts where Picasso attended, and the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar. The tour will end in front of the Picasso Museum.
