The alehouse-tavern-hostel called the Quatre Gats (Also called 4 Gats) opened its doors in 1897, during a period of full artistic effervescence. Barcelona was living a "golden age" of lights and shade with the demographic growth caused by the rural migration to the urban areas, industrial development and the tensions between the social classes. Els Quatre Gats would quickly become a neuralgic point in which restless artists and writers came to keep up-to-date with the latest news from the city of lights. Among the youngest, was notably a young Picasso of 17 years old, who lived with his family in Barcelona and studied art here. In the spring of 1900, Picasso was commissioned to produce the menu, an important element that reflects the trust in the young artist, and it is still the same to this day.
