Flights to Granada
During the period of Moorish domination, Granada was the jewel of the peninsula. Today the city houses the greatest Moorish legacy in Europe, one of the most captivating, magical tourist attractions on the continent: the Alhambra. We like tradition; we like Moorish culture; we like Spain. ¡Que viva Graná! Vueling will take you.

Don't miss... in GranadaGranada is a pleasurable multi-sensorial experience that will slowly open up before you, but we suggest you start with the following: La AlhambraThe Alhambra appears to have been spirited out of a fairytale, or closer to home, out of one of the Arabian Nights tales. Outside, an imposing red fortress surrounded by cypresses and inside an exquisite architectural jewel comprised of an impressive palace (Nasrid Palace) and an inspiring garden (Generalife). Its name stems from the full name "Qal'at al-hamra" which in Arabic means Red Fortress. It was a palace, a citadel and a fortress, the residence of the Nasrid Sultans and high palace dignitaries, courtesans and elite soldiers in the 13th and 14th centuries.The UNESCO World Heritage Committee declared the Granada Alhambra and Generalife part of the Cultural Heritage of Humanity in a session on 2nd November, 1984.
