IMMERSION TOURIST EXPERIENCE
ACCOMPANIED BY LOCAL GUIDES
Pablo Picasso was in Horta twice.
He was the first in 1899 to spend the holidays with Manel Pallarés, a classmate at La Lonja in Barcelona, where Pablo’s father was a painting teacher.
The second was in 1909, and he was a painter with very clear ideas. He came from Paris, had just painted “The Young Ladies of Avignon,” and had been commissioned by his dealer, Gertrude Stein, to paint as many paintings as he could in that style. I had to find a quiet place to do the work, and Horta was the destination. He painted more than 30 paintings, establishing him as the great painter of the 20th century and the creator of Cubism.
DINE ON TRADITIONAL CLOTXA WITH OOVE FLAVOR
OLI D’OLIVA EXTRA EDGE
Once we knew Picasso’s stories and the links with Horta and Cubism, we went on to eat a tasting menu with an original main dish: the “Clotxa.”
It is a typical peasant food of those times. It involved putting a herring, tomatoes, roasted garlic and olive oil in a large bun.
We have made an adaptation to current times that will make you enjoy the food. Pair it with a wine from the “Les Vinyes del Convent” Winery, made for the occasion and in the style of the early 20th century.
We finish the excursion with a guided visit to the “Magic Mountain” (according to Picasso) and the Convent of San Salvador located at the base of it.
