Carrer Avinyó

The Inspiration for Picasso's Painting



Address:
Carrer Ferran hasta Carrer Ample
Barcelona, Barcelona 08002

Description

This street runs from Carrer Ferran to Carrer Ample and is very typical of an old town street, with lots of places to drink and eat nearly always full of young people. Picasso found the inspiration to paint his famous Las Señoritas de Aviñón in a brothel located here, too; the painting does not refer to the French town, as people often assume. It is an agreeable place for a late-afternoon stroll, maintains all the charm it once had centuries ago.
