Going to the Cinema in Spain
Suggesting a film, buying tickets and chatting about it afterwards in Spain.
Most films in Spanish cinemas are dubbed, so look for 'VO' or 'VOSE' sessions if you want the original with subtitles. Many cinemas are cheaper on one weekday, seats are numbered, and in summer there's outdoor cine de verano. The cards follow an evening at the cinema in Valencia, from choosing a film to arguing about the ending.
