Going SPAIN? Ask this amdk ah beng!

[foreveru13]

Hola! I'm going during December, Xmas. Will share itinerary when I come back. Barcelona and Madrid, renfe got promo during the release for Dec tickets, El adelanta la Navidad promocion, so instead of 89€ for ida y vuelta (return) tickets, I paid 30€. Muy bien!
As it's just a week, I didn't want to rush the sights but agree that Seville must go.
Will you go to the Xmas market near Gothic there? Can meet up not.

I bought the Paseo del arte ticket, this is a 3 museum combo ticket that allows you to visit Reina Sofia, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza and Nacional del Prado.
you can spread the visit between different days. you need to pick it up from the store you bought e.g. i bought from Reina sofia website so i need to pick the tickets from reina sofia. http://www.museoreinasofia.es/en/paseo-del-arte-ticket

Also, i recommend drawing up a sheet of buying ticket separate vs using the Hola card.
i notice that the benefits are e.g. 30euro savings but not worth it as you still have to bring more cash over and have a higher rate of losing cash than bring photocopies of paper tickets.

i know i hamsup. i going erotica museu.
But madrid, anything else nice to do ah? amdk kor kor.
i know there's day trips to those towns but like very lazy i packed quite alot.

Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum is great (walao u going so many art museums haha, your head will explode)

really meh ...cheap flights to Murcia?? from where?

Murcia not vely attractive. I would not consider Murcia as a destination if u coming from far. Murcia city quite ugly. The cathedral is naise but no point to go there just for that. Murcia region (not city)has a few great spots but maybe more attractive in summer where u haf options for beaches...more local tourism. Conclusion: save the money

UK haha, ok thanks! save money in spring then go explore others parts of spain again

edit: actually might do 1night murcia then go up north to malaga 2-3 nights? any cities inbetween worth going?

flying in to murcia(17th dec) and out from malaga(20/21/22 dec) because both ways 20pound should be quite easy to get buses/trains right?

or can fly in to murcia(17th) out of madrid(20th) for 30 pounds. but a bit tight so thinking of saving madrid for another trip along with valencia, granada etc

No wonder cheap...u in brexitland hah.
I dun know what time u reach murcia but don´t stay long. Just find bus to go Granada first and spend time there ( u say go up north to malaga...where got north la...malaga is southwest). Then u go to malaga and spend time there. Just this two places, relax pace and enjoy the scenery and food. Maybe u can go Ronda from Malaga. Or from Granada u can go Sierra Nevada since is ski season..yeahhh!
