Overview

This is not your average Picasso walking tour. You won’t just discover the secrets that inspired his work from the early days of his career but also the scandals that still haunt his memory today.

As this is a private tour, we can accommodate any extra requests that you might have.

Accompanied by an Art Historian, travel back in time as we follow in the footsteps of a young Picasso around the vibrant streets and alleys of Barcelona’s old town, using Picasso as a lens through which to uncover the history of Barcelona.

Exploring Barcelona’s history, in el Born and the Gotic, you pass by the places that made up his childhood, inspired his paintings and delve into his wild teens in the city when he quit art school and left for Paris.
