Take a journey that follows in Pablo Picasso’s footsteps around Spain. From his birth in Malaga, to his success in Madrid, and even his years in Catalonia and Galicia.

It all began in Malaga

Pablo Picasso: Life Story

A name recognised the world over, Pablo Picasso is associated with many different areas and movements of the modern art world.

But how much do we actually know about what went on in the life of this artistic genius?

Picasso was born in 1881 in Malaga and was in fact known by his father's surname of Blasco for the first twenty years of his life.

Between 1900 and 1904 Picasso entered in to his 'Blue Period' in which melancholy blue tones cha
