Overview of your Barcelona tour
Are you Passionate about Picasso? So am I. As an art historian I know many painters but I cannot think of any other artist as prolific, brilliant but controversial as well. Picasso is fascinating like few others! If you want to know the young Picasso, whose adolescence and early youth took place in Barcelona, the works of his apprenticeship, as well as others from the blue period and later, this tour is a must-see for you. First, I will take you to the main landmarks of the Old Quarter where most of the buildings date back from the 13th to the 15th century. The area that also witnessed in the early years of the artist in Barcelona until he decided to establish in Paris. Next, we'll visit one of the most important museums in Barcelona, located in 5 consecutive gothic palaces from the 14th century: Picasso museum.
