Sala Parés

Travel through Picasso's life in Barcelona to discover how the city shaped his art. We visit the restaurant Els Quatre Gats, once a tavern and meeting place for Picasso and his friends. This was the first place where he showcased his genius. As we explore Picasso's Barcelona, we visit other places that inspired or housed his early works. Hear the story of the women behind “Les Demoiselles d'Avinyó”. See the former Academy of Fine Arts where he studied. At Sala Parès, a former paint shop where he exhibited his art, we can even go inside to see how it evolved into a gallery that now houses very different works from those of Picasso's time. Finally, your guide takes you down the picturesque Carrer Montcada. This medieval street is home to the Picasso Museum, where you can continue with your skip-the-line ticket. If you chose the upgrade, your guide will take you on a tour of the museum's most important pieces and share the secrets behind its many paintings, sketches, and sculptures.
