If you are approaching from the south, keep some distance from the coast in the stretch between the mouth of the Tordera river and the harbour, as sandbanks tend to form. Southern and south-eastern gales may cause undercurrents inside the harbour. The Sant Joan castle, set atop a hill of 160 metres serves as a landmark for your approach.

The Picasso museum Barcelona is a key reference for understanding the formative years of Pablo Picasso. The genius of the young artist is revealed through the 4,251 works that make up the permanent collection. Furthermore, the Picasso museum, opened in 1963, also reveals his deep relationship with Barcelona: an intimate, solid relationship that was shaped in his adolescence and youth, and continued until his death. The Picasso museum is very rich in regard to work from the formative years in the life of the artist; it is practically exhaustive up to the Blue Period. The Museum also houses an important representation of works from 1917, and the series Las Meninas (1957) as well as a comprehensive print collection.
