Picasso in Barcelona
A fascinating and complete tour about the life of Pablo Picasso in Barcelona (1895-1904).
During this tour we will discover the life of Picasso in Barcelona (1895-1904). We will analyze his first steps in the city as a student, as an immigrant and his first steps as an artist. We will visit the key places which he frequented: locations of his first paintings, art school, first study, first brothels, etc.
Barcelona at that time experienced the same paradigms as the artist: Conflicts and revolution. A city that consolidated as a metropolis after The Industrial Revolution.
Following his footsteps we will understand better his paintings. We will explain the artistic influences that formed Picasso in Barcelona. The evolution of all his work will be present in the streets of Barcelona.
At the end of the tour we will go to the «Els Quatre Gats» tavern where he used go with his friend. The experience includes an appetizer.

Mariano was a wonderful tour guide. He has a wealth of information about Pablo Picasso and Barcelona’s history. The day we went out was unusually cold, but Mariano had a great attitude the entire time and was excited to show us so many cool aspects of Picasso in Barcelona.

I really enjoyed my tour with Mariano, he was incredibly informative about the history of Picasso and Barcelona and it was great to learn so much in a such a short time. As a solo traveler it was exciting to see and learn about places I would not have gone to alone.

I found Mariano to be knowledgeable, energetic, and funny. He started off with a brief pictorial to set the tone for the tour and gave insights and explanations all throughout.His English was very good, but occasionally, as a bilingual…

We loved this tour! We learned so much about the area as well as Picassos’s history. Mariano was charismatic and made everything incredibly intersting. We also really appreciated how Mariano tied everything to present day Barcelona. (As a former history major seeing how the past repeats itself is always fascinating). I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in history.
