You can follow Picasso's whole working life in the city where he was born, from drawings he made at thirteen to a plate he decorated with a bull's head in his seventies. Book ahead for a summer weekend.

Visiting

Picasso's collection fills the Palacio de Buenavista, and each gallery mixes work from different decades, so a portrait of his son can hang beside a Surrealist head and a late ceramic. The audio guide runs as a web app on your own phone, so bring headphones.

Then go down to the level below the ground floor. There you can see the vats of a Roman factory that salted fish for export, a cobbled street from the old palace and its storage jars set into the cellar floor. Finish in the garden among orange trees and bougainvillea, or at the café beside it.

Know before you goEntry is free for the last two hours every Sunday, and a queue forms in the street outside, so come on another day if your time is short. An exhibition pairing Munch and Picasso runs from late October 2026 to late February 2027.
