Q:
My wife and I are confused. Will ONLY be in Madrid Friday April 28 through Sunday April 30, 2023. Website shows no tickets available plus none available via a tour service. However, a person we spoke with who lives in Madrid, and close to the Palace, said in reality we could show up in the morning about when it opens. May be a line but can physically buy a ticket there. Is that true?
A:
We bought our tickets on the spot
