Mama Mia…Sagrada Familia Question

OK, I know Mama Mia is more Italian or a misspelled ABBA song, but I do have a couple of questions.

We want to book the tickets with audio guide and access to Towers…

1) Does anyone know what the age of a senior is at this attraction…it doesn't say?

2) I want to get the 9 a.m. time slot for Sagrada Familia (the first one), but then it asks what time do I want to book a tower. How much time should I allot before that, or should we go to the tower first and then the rest?

3) It asks which tower…which one did you prefer, or does it make a difference?

Grazie….I mean Gracias.

Maitai

I tried the Spanish version of the site. Using my impeccable command of the language, I immediately translated 'informacio' as 'information.' From there it was downhill fast.

etudiants I deduce to be students, jubilats is, well, I guessed that it won't matter if you qualify by age or not maitai, if you are not a Spanish (resident) old guy, it won't matter.

Pay up, they need the money to finish that thing. They've been building it for like forever.

It's only 3 euro more for the regular over the senior, although if I showed them my photo from the airplane returning from Paris, they'd think I was 92 not 62.

We did Nativity Tower as it is the one Gaudi actually worked on.

DH is a senior, the price was 21.80 Euros for his ticket. This is the invoice we got:


Sagrada Família Basílica 06/12/2014 09:30 - 09:45
Guide visit English 06/12/2014 10:00 - 11:00
Towers Tower on the Nativity facade 06/12/2014 11:30 - 11:45

We're going in May and I just booked yesterday. I read "somewhere" to book the tower visit 15 minutes after ticket for admission. That way you can do the tower first and then tour the rest a your own pace. Not sure if this is correct or not.

I meant that the invoice showed the times, so you'd have an idea how to book it. You need to work off the Guided tour times, if you're going to do one and I HIGHLY recommend doing so.

We were able to stay as long as we wanted after The Tower visit.

In Spain, state pension age is 65 and most jubilado (pensioner, retiree) rates apply to 65+.
