Finish the tour off with a visit to the Picasso Museum located on Carrer Montcada in the district of El Born. Located in the heart of bohemian Barcelona, the museum is one of the best things to do in Spain and houses the largest collection of original works from the Spanish painter. Throughout over 3,800 works in total, there’s an especially rich array of early paintings and sketches, some donated by Picasso himself.
