Arches in the square of Ajuntament Horta de Sant Joan, town hall at Placa de l'Esglesia, hilltown of Horta de San Juan, Terra Alta wine region, Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain Horta de Sant Joan is the birthplace of Manuel Pallares, friend and companion of Pablo Picasso. Picasso spent some time in Horta during his youth (1897–98) with his friend Manuel. He is quoted as having said, "Everything I know I learned in Horta". Picasso later returned to develop his Proto-Cubism style of painting (1909). During both visits he made a lot of paintings and drawings. There is currently a Centro Picasso (Picasso Center) that organizes expositions, symposiums, publications, etc.; Also there is an Eco-Museum of the Natural Park of the Ports, and a visitor's center with maps and hotel information.
