Special Exhibition: Miró-Picasso at Museu Picasso of Barcelona

[Josep Montserrat]

Hi pilgrims,

For those who visit Barcelona to do the Camí de Sant Jaume, to link the Camino Francés or for another reason this can be interesting. The Picasso Museum has a special exhibition with Miró.

"The Miró-Picasso exhibition is a joint and unique project of the Museu Picasso of Barcelona and the Fundació Joan Miró that will take place simultaneously at both institutions, between 20th October, 2023 and 25th February, 2024. Joan Miró and Pablo Picasso, who maintained a close friendship for more than fifty years, chose Barcelona to bequeath their work in the form of monographic art centres."

If the exhibition is successful, the dates may be extended.
If you have time I recommend it.

Buen Camino.

Pilgrims heading out from Montserrat may wish to check out the art museum underneath the abbey where they can see one of Picasso's earliest paintings, of an altar boy preparing for mass (

We really enjoyed that nifty little museum. That painting isn't the only Picasso that they have. They actually have a temporary Picasso exhibit going on for the rest of the year.

Spain is full of extraordinary little museums. Aside from the little-known Bellas Artes in Bilbao, I have encountered brilliant galleries in Oviedo, Santander, Saint Sebastian, and the diocesan museums in Huesca and Santillana del Mar. Pilgrims whose brains are fried by long days in the rain or blazing sun may find them cool and refreshing breaks.
