I’m not sure - they might put you to one side if the time is on yr ticket as they have set numbers going in at set times.

I suppose that’s why they give people time tickets.

Hi is it true that no shorts can be worn in the alcazar or the cathedral in Seville? Just with it being so hot I prefer to wear shorts but they aren’t short short . Just wondering if it is enforced ?
