The Alhambra
Tickets are in your name, personal and non-transferable: bring the original passport or ID you booked with, and your QR ticket. The entry time to the Nasrid Palaces printed on your ticket is fixed; if you miss it, you lose that part of the visit. The ticket offices sell only same-day tickets, subject to availability (Patronato de la Alhambra y Generalife).
The Alcázar, the cathedral and the Mezquita
Book timed tickets for the Real Alcázar, Seville Cathedral and the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba on their official websites. Religious services take priority in the cathedrals, so hours can change.
Flamenco, opera and festivals
Book flamenco directly with the tablao or museum: Tablao El Arenal and the Museo del Baile Flamenco in Seville, and the caves of the Sacromonte in Granada. The Teatro de la Maestranza sells its own opera and concert tickets, and the festivals (the Bienal de Flamenco, the Festival de Jerez and Granada’s Festival of Music and Dance) sell through their websites.
