INTRODUCTION |
There is so much to do in Spain and there are times when access to some massive places requires an admission ticket. So today, we’re going to work on getting you through the gate as we’ll take a look at buying tickets. |

Very often, the admission ticket you’ll have acquired will grant you access to several precincts in the same place. For this reason, keep this admission ticket with you until you leave the place you are visiting because you may be required to show your ticket at the entrance of different precincts. |
If this happens, staff will ask, Su entrada por favor, which means “Your admission ticket please.” |
Su entrada por favor. |
