You can enter by scanning the e-ticket on the Ctrip APP, but you have to follow the exact reservation time. I wanted to enter half an hour earlier, but was refused. For children's tickets, you need to find the tool staff in Room C on the right side of the entrance, show the adult's e-ticket, and the staff will print out a child's e-ticket for you (Figure 1)
There is not much to say. I came to Barcelona to see Gaudi, especially the Sagrada Familia. It was a pity that I didn’t buy tickets to climb the tower, which is a bit regrettable. So I suggest that students who buy tickets buy tickets that include climbing the tower, which must be great.

It’s essential and convenient to purchase the ticket in advance in order to minimise the queuing time. It’s easy to use and just show the QR code for entry.
I think there is no need to come here after seeing Brussels. The palaces in Europe are almost the same. It takes about two and a half hours. There are about 29 rooms. Follow the voice prompts.

Guille Park, also known as Quille Park, is the pearl of Barcelona. It is designed by Gaudi ingeniously, with unique architecture, wavy and tilted structures. The central square has a great view over the city. "Gaudilong" landmarks and the world's longest chairs and other landscapes, with mosaic collages of colorful colors, will be perfect integration of nature and art, it is worth a visit.
It was hot, but there were quite a few tourists. Although the tickets were at 11 o'clock, the ticket inspector didn't pay much attention to the time. We were actually half an hour early, but the use of session control does have advantages to avoid crowding. Because I have visited the Sagrada Familia and the Palau Güell, I have a little understanding of Gaudi's design style. Basically, they have the same structure and characteristics. In short, it was a good experience.

Ctrip's package is great, the price for two people is affordable, 45 euros, a few euros cheaper than silver bills.
It also comes with a deck of peripheral playing cards! (Picture 1) It's very beautiful! I bought the commemorative coins myself.
Attached are some photos of the scenes taken during this visit, which are very good!
The Gaudi three-piece set is a must-see when visiting Barcelona. I bought a double ticket on Ctrip, and also got a limited edition Casa Batlló playing card♥️. The city of architecture is worthy of being the city of architecture. Fulfilling the dream of Gaudi should be the biggest gain of this trip to Banya

The tickets were sold out on the first day. I didn't expect the Alhambra to be so popular. I later bought tickets for the second day through Ctrip. I walked around a bit. It's quite big and the routes are a bit messy, but overall it's a good experience. I may not have the chance to come to Granada in the future. I feel a little regretful if I don't go this time.
Tickets for the Alhambra Palace (including the Naples Palace) need to be bought 2 months in advance. I bought them as soon as I got my visa, but I didn't get them. I saw this 12:00 noon session, the Alhambra Palace (including the Naples Palace) + manual English explanation, and I got it, although it was a little expensive. The ticket has a QR code, and there is no need to exchange tickets. The meeting place is at the coffee shop, so you need to pay special attention to the meeting place and try to arrive in advance. The convener of the meeting did not hold a sign, nor would he actively call people. You need to find it in a large crowd by yourself. It was a headache, but fortunately I found it before the meeting time. I entered the Alhambra Palace on time at 12:00, including a total of 5 people in the group. The British tour guide was very friendly and took everyone slowly and entered the garden first. I entered the Naples Palace on time at 14:00, the explanation was detailed, and she also helped us take pictures. The whole process was very soothing and ended at 15:30. The experience is very good! (If you are traveling independently and your English listening is good, it is recommended to choose this project as the best)

The salvation of the hot summer weather is to come to the exhibition. Anyway, people who understand art and those who don’t should be able to find their own aesthetics here.
Taking photos is not allowed, and there will be staff to remind you all the time
No need to queue, you can go straight in. You can enter early. It is recommended to enter before 11 o'clock. We walked around until the afternoon. The restaurant was closed. We went to the church and found that there was a sacrament, so we came out. If you want to see the church, you can go in the morning. Anyway, it is right opposite the entrance.

The Royal Palace of Sevilla is the oldest royal palace in Europe and was listed as a World Cultural Heritage in 1987. It was originally a Moorish castle built in the Middle Ages, and later integrated Islamic, Christian and Gothic styles to reflect the Andalusian architectural style. It was once the filming location for the Dorne family's royal home in "Game of Thrones".
I took a picture of a coquettish peacock in the royal palace. I was wondering who it was showing off to since there were no other peacocks around. Then I saw its refrigerator magnet in the souvenir shop at the entrance. Hahahaha, great self-promotion.

Seville Cathedral (Catedral de Santa María de la Sede) is the third largest cathedral in the world⚖️ and one of the largest Gothic religious buildings in Europe. Its predecessor was a 12th-century mosque, which was rebuilt to combine the essence of Islamic and Christian art. The iconic building **La Giralda** retains Moorish geometric carvings. Climbing to the top, you can overlook the panoramic view of Seville. The slope inside the tower was originally designed to facilitate horseback riding.
The Cathedral of Seville, the third largest in the world (after St. Peter's Basilica in Rome and St. Paul's Basilica in London), was originally a Moorish mosque and later converted to a Catholic church. The main body of the cathedral is Gothic, the dome and some decorations combine Renaissance, Baroque and other elements, and the central altar is covered with gold foil, sacred and magnificent.

Looking at Picasso's works again, I suddenly understood. The primitive, bold and strong things deeply attracted me and stimulated my sensory nerves! Picasso used various painting methods to express his own emotions casually. Basically, it was not purely aesthetic, but rational and abstract. He reconstructed and combined objects to bring people newer and deeper feelings!
I was impressed by the Picasso Museum, especially the evolution of his work from his teenage years to his maturity. My favorites are his blue period and cubism, and I can feel the expression of his emotions and the uniqueness of his creations when I appreciate it. The museum’s architecture is also charming, with a sense of history in the five ancient palaces. Although there are many exhibits in the museum, the layout is reasonable and it doesn’t look crowded. If you are interested in art, this is definitely a place worth exploring in depth
