Hello, do you still not know anything about the tickets for the drag gala?
I have called the city council (who don't know “anything” they say), the celebrations department (which doesn't pick up the phone), the tourist office (who don't know “anything” either), finally via email to which I still haven't They have responded and finally to organizers of carnival events who also know “nothing.”
I don't know if the tickets are especially for staff who work in that town hall, their family and friends, or if it is chaos about which there is no communication...

The thing is that no matter how much I search, I can't find anything about it and I wouldn't want to miss it...And from the city council, I have contacted them several times and they have not responded 🙁
Hi Alex!! The truth is that I do not have 100% accurate information on this topic because we personally have never been. Our friends from the south tell us that the stands have an entrance, but that you can really see it from anywhere else as long as you find space...
We hope we have helped.
