Starting problems

When I turn the key I hear a clicking (sounds like it is coming from the starter solenoid) I have to turn it off and on anywhere from 3 time to 10 times and finally the starter will engage.

I had the battery checked (good) so I decided to put a new starter on. Replaced starter still does the same. I checked all the connections, they look good.

Is there a starter relay?
Could it be the ignition switch?
Any other ideas?

Fact of the week
Funerals in Spain typically occur within 24 to 48 hours of death, whereas in other European countries they wait one or more weeks. This rapid timeframe is a cultural norm grown from the past need to manage the warm climate without modern embalming.
