25 October 2012 marks 130thbirthday of Picasso

Spain expects increase in visitor numbers to coincide with celebrations

Thomas Cook offer range of Spanish breaks for travellers

It's just over 130 years since the birth of Picasso and many admirers will head to Spain this autumn to join in the celebrations on the 25 October, leading travel operators Thomas Cook have suggested.

Picasso was born in Malaga in 1881 but lived for many years in Barcelona until the political upheavals of the Spanish Civil war in the 1930s forced him into exile. The Spanish artistic tradition extends from the mainland to the islands and many visitors are expected to take advantage of Ibiza holidays to celebrate his connection with Spain.

To help travellers find inspiration for artistic holidays in Spain, Thomas Cook look at some of the best destinations for holidaymakers to visit:

Ibiza

Ibiza holidays are the perfect option for art lovers. The Marta Torres Gallery in Ibiza Old Town has an international reputation and artists who have exhibited here include Julia Ribas.

Tenerife
