• Porxos d’en Xifré - The Porxos d’en Xifré is a historic building of Barcelona which was inaugurated in 1840 after four years of works. It occupies the block formed by the Passeig d’Isabel II, the Pla de Palau and the streets of Reina Cristina and Llauder, plots of land that were urbanized in 1834 as a result of the demolition of the sea wall. The building was the first to appear in daguerreotype done in Spain and is decorated with Masonic symbols. But did you know that it was the first place where Picasso lived when his family moved to Barcelona?

The exact point where Picasso’s family lived was the current number 4 of the Passeig d’Isabel II, where before a boarding house had been.

Picasso bore a potent affection for Barcelona, a sentiment this tour seeks to emote. Arriving in 1895 at the tender age of 13, the young Picasso plunged into spirited escapades with comrades – the earliest to discern his prodigious capabilities and introduce him to the concealed delights of brothels. Barcelona was also the birthplace of Picasso’s maiden studio and the location where he formulated his inaugural engraving, initial illustration, and launched his first exhibition at the iconic 4 Gats restaurant. Nine years on, at age 22, Picasso departed for Paris, never to reside in Barcelona again. Yet, for Picasso, Barcelona forever held its position as the wondrous city that had enamored him during his adolescence, unveiling to him the wonders of modernity.
