New rules at the Sagrada Família Church

The incredible increase in the number of visitors at the Sagrada Família Church, Gaudí's masterpiece since Pope Benedict dedicated it in November 7th 2011 (over 1 milion more people in one year!) has forced them to introduce new rules and restrictions for groups and guided tours.

So far, they do not affect small groups of 8 people or less (that means that won't affect most of my guests, and we can still show up anytime during your tour, break the line and get in). However, larger groups absolutely require a reservation and pre-payment of their tickets. Tourguides are given a special sticker to get in (what means that tourguides caught explaining inside without the required sticker will be immediately expulsed from the enclosure). Plus now, groups larger than 30 people will not be allowed to enter the museum area to see the plaster models (they can still see the façades and the interior of the church). They'll control that giving a red sticker - instead of green - for tourguides with over 30 people in their group.
