Hi, my name is Cayetano. I am a licensed guide from Barcelona, born and raised here. I have been working in the hospitality and tourism for almost 27 years, mainly in hotels and tour companies in Spain, South East Asia and the United States.

I hold a bachelor's degree in Art History and a second bachelor's degree in Business (Hospitality and Tourism). This solid background allows me to deliver a top notch service and exceed the expectations of my clients. I love my job, I love my hometown Barcelona and I love my country, Catalonia. It is always a pleasure to share my knowledge about my country and my hometown with visitors coming from all around the world. I would like to be your host during your stay in Barcelona, please feel free to write me if you have any question about my the tours posted on ToursByLocals or if you don't find on my site what you are looking for. I look forward to seeing you soon in Barcelona!!! -Official Guide License, issued by the Catalan Government -Bachelor's Degree in Art History, University of Barcelona -Bachelor's Degree in Business (Hospitality and Tourism), CETT, University of Barcelona -MBA, EAE Business School, Barcelona -Member of AGUICAT (Professional licensed tour guides Association of Catalonia). -Private Pilot License (PPL) My tours are always private tours for you and you party only.

Spend a half day covering the close relationship between Picasso and Barcelona
Overview of your Barcelona tour
Barcelona played a very important role in Picasso's life. Pablo Picasso arrived to Barcelona at the age of 14 and spent most of his childhood and his teenage years here. Picasso always said: "Barcelona was the place where my career as artist started, Barcelona was the place where I found out how far I would go in life. " We will explore the narrow alleys and streets that compose the Old District of Barcelona to see the places that inspired him as a young artist. We will visit the Four Cats Tavern, Sala Pares Art Gallery (place of Picasso's first individual exposition). We will see the School of Fine Arts where He studied and the location of his parent's house and some of his studios in Barcelona. We will finish the tour visiting the Picasso Museum located in El Born district. IMPORTANT NOTE: the Picasso Museum is closed on Mondays. I can offer this tour any day of the week except Mondays.

This tour really changed my views on Pablo Picasso and Cubism. Before seeing the masterpieces at museum, Cayetano guided my family to walk through the narrow alleys where Picasso lived his early years and where he met those influential figures, eventually leading to his later success. Through all the stories and fun facts told by Cayetano, we immersed ourselves in this beautiful city where Picasso's heart will always be. Picasso Museum is the highlight. Cayetano accompanied us inside the museum and introduced the paintings and crafts, showing Picasso's style evolving throughout his life. We're impressed by Cayetano's expertise about art and how he easily shared it with others. He even taught us how to appreciate Cubism in the easiest way. I can't believe that a science-guy like my husband, who had no interest in art before, really enjoyed his time at museum. All thanks to Cayetano!!!

We each enjoyed the tour of the Old Gothic town and then the Picasso museum. Cayetano was well versed in the personal stories and the works of Picasso. Our tour was both informative and engaging.

Cayetano is extremely knowledgeable about Picasso and is able to convey that knowledge to his clients. We had a thoroughly enjoyable tour and would recommend "Following in the footsteps of Picasso" to anyone.
