Carrer de Petritxol

This guide to Carrer de Petritxol in Barcelona follows a twenty-year-old unknown from Málaga, Pablo Picasso, and the 1901 show at Sala Parés that gave him his first exhibition on this narrow medieval street. You'll hear how his friend, the critic Miquel Utrillo, talked the gallery into it, and what the show shared its walls with. The guide also traces the alley's centuries as a hot-chocolate destination, drawing later visitors like Salvador Dalí to its granjas.
