Madrid, Granada, Seville...What Tickets to Pre-Purchase?

Hi All!

I am headed to Madrid, Granada, and Seville in late June. I obviously know to purchase planes, trains, and automobiles beforehand and I have already purchased tickets to the Alhambra but was wondering what other tickets/reservations you suggest to secure beforehand. This can include recommended attractions/tours/popular places to eat/etc that fill up quickly or are highly sought after.

I greatly appreciate your help!

In Seville, if you want to see a flamenco show at one of the smaller venues (and you should), buy in advance.

You can buy Prado tickets in advance. What I did that also worked was go to the ticket window in a the afternoon a few days before (no line then) and buy tickets for the day I wanted (the tickets are for a specific day, so you have to be sure to get the correct ones). Or you can buy the combo ticket (Prado, Thyssen, Reina Sofia) at one of the non-Prado museums, where the lines are shorter.

Great that you got your Alhambra tickets - from what I'm reading on this Forum, they're selling out popular slots earlier than ever.
