National Lampoon's Spanish Vacation
Sunday, August 20th we had planned to see the legendary royal city of the Alhambra, a walled fortress overlooking Granada. When we were told that advanced tickets were sold out for the next few weeks our hearts sank.With the train dilemma and now this, I felt like Clark Griswold standing at the gates to WallyWorld after his botched family vacation led them to an off-limits theme park.
Thankfully the woman interrupted our jaw-dropping with a hint of hope - 2,000 tickets were sold exclusively onsite each morning beginning at 8am. We were there at seven surprised to find ourselves hundreds of people deep; those more devout tourists had set up camp in the cold dark dawn at the base of the Sierra Nevada mountain range much earlier.

Hmmmm..........2000 tickets. A line hundreds of people deep. My farmer basic math instinctively tells me that you got in unless the line was also very wide. (The Griswalds had no lines with which to contend at Wally World) Love, Dad
LOL...the line wasn't too wide...LOL :)
we did get in, when the countdown started they only had 400 for the morning and the rest for the afternoon; luckily we made it in the morning group because we spent about ten hours there.
