Walk in the footsteps of a young Picasso by visiting the home where his family lived when Pablo was in his early teens. The family moved to La Coruna in 1891, when Pablo’s father became an instructor at a fine arts school. Their apartment at 4 Rúa Payo Gómez has been preserved much like it was, with period furnishings and replicas of art work that Pablo created at the time. You can see glimpses of Pablo’s genius in the paintings, drawings and caricatures, which are quite advanced considering his age. The family left for Barcelona after four years, when young Conchita Picasso died of diphtheria in the home. As you walk through La Coruna, you will see neighborhoods and attractions that teenage Pablo would have known such as the inspiring Méndez Núñez Gardens, an urban oasis that opened in 1871. Later, you can explore further on your own in the heart of the city.
