The Picasso Museum in Barcelona is indispensable for understanding the formative years of Pablo Ruiz Picasso. The genius of the young artist is revealed through the more than 3,500 works that make up the permanent collection. However, the Picasso Museum also reveals his relationship with Barcelona: an intimate, solid relationship that was shaped in his adolescence and youth, and continued until his death.

Thanks to the wishes of Picasso and his friend Jaume Sabartés, Barcelona now has the youthful work of one of the twentieth century’s most significant artists. Source: bcn

One of the best parks to go with young children in Barcelona is the Parc de la Ciutadella (underground L1, Arc de Triomf, and bus). It is a historic park built in the estate occupied by the Ciutadella, a fort built by Felip V after the Guerra de Sucesión, in the XVIII century. With time, this area, originally for weapons, was taken over for the enjoyment of the public.

The park was designed by the architect Josep Fontseré. The original project preserved some of the buildings of the old Ciutadella, for example that of the Parlament de Catalunya (visits by arrangement), which was modified for the 1888 Universal Exposition. Source: bcn
