Picasso and the Plaza de Pontevedra

The Eusebio da Guarda, today a secondary school, is the centre where Picasso pursued his own secondary education, with poor marks, and where he later attended the School of Fine Arts, with excellent marks.

On the first floor of this building, he studied for three years under artists such as his father (José Ruiz y Blasco), Román Navarro and Isidoro Brocos. He also held his first group exhibitions here. In the square outside, the boy Picasso played at bullfighting with his classmates, using their jackets as bullfighting muletas.
