Visit to Royal Alcázar

I visited the Palace in mid-March, bought a ticket in advance on the site, it costs 1 Euro more, but you can choose the time of the visit and therefore do not need to stand in the General queue. As the guidebooks say, it takes at least three hours to visit the Alcazar, but my style of sightseeing usually requires one and a half to two times more time, so I wanted to get there as early as possible. I bought a ticket about a month in advance, but on the day I needed it, the available time started at 11: 00, although it was far from the tourist season. When I arrived at the Lion gate, I saw a huge queue, and even having a ticket with the time, I stood for about 20 minutes.
