Be sure to visit the home of Picasso.
The successive rooms of the Museum offer a thematic tour that highlights Pablo Picasso's family, social and cultural links with Malaga, the city where he was born on October 25, 1881.
He spent the first ten years of his life until October 1891 when the family moved to La Coruña and later to Barcelona. He returned to Malaga in the summers of 1895, 1896, 1897 and 1899. His last stay, accompanied only by his friend Casagemas, was between the end of December 1900 and January 28, 1901.
School - Colegio de San Rafael.
What is now number 18 on Calle Comedias, used to be the school where Pablo Picasso studied. The Malaga-born artist was not a good student, he used to get bored in class and his greatest fear was that his father would not come back to pick him up.
