Hello! Nice to meet you:) I am Montse and I'm a licensed local guide in Barcelona and Catalunya. I am a graduate in Audiovisual Communication and I also have a Master in script writing. For many years I have been combining Tourism work with the performing arts, cinema and theatre . This two areas which would appear to be unconnected have actually made me the kind of guide I am. You will be able to discover the city as if you were watching a film. We can include visual poetry and narrative in the way we walk around the city! Fall in love with Barcelona and Catalonia! I can show you the popular venus, the hidden gems and the quiet places where we locals go. On foot, by bike or with our own driver. I am interested in art, history and culture in general and I am constantly updating. Tell me what interests you and I can design a tailored made tour which will give you a truly great experience. -Official Guide License, issued by the Catalan Government.

“Barcelona was where I realized how far I could reach,” once said Pablo Picasso. This private tour explores Barcelona through Picasso’s eyes — the city where he grew up, found inspiration, and began shaping the artist he would become. Long before Paris, Barcelona formed the foundations of his creative revolution. With a background in communication and storytelling, my goal is to make Picasso accessible, engaging, and memorable — even for those who think they don’t like his work. We’ll walk through the historic old town, discovering the neighborhoods, stories, and atmosphere that influenced his early years. The experience continues inside the Picasso Museum, housed in beautiful medieval palaces. Here, we follow Picasso’s artistic evolution step by step, including the extraordinary Las Meninas series. This is not just a museum visit — it’s a journey into how a young Pablo became Picasso.
