The instability in the Middle East is influencing the decisions of international travelers, who are looking for destinations deemed safer and more established. In this context, Granada has emerged as one of the Spanish cities that is recording a significant increase in bookings for Holy Week 2026.

According to data from the technology platform for tourist activities Civitatis, the global tourism market is experiencing a shift towards European and American destinations. Among the Spanish cities showing the most dynamism are Seville, Granada, and Cordoba. Granada, with its impressive historical heritage and the Alhambra as its main attraction, maintains a solid international appeal and also benefits from its cultural and gastronomic offerings, as well as the traditional Holy Week festivities.

The report highlights a double-digit growth in demand for several cities across Europe and America during the past week, positioning Spain and, in particular, Andalusia, among the priority destinations at a time of geopolitical uncertainty. Internationally, cities like Rome, Athens, Budapest, and Krakow are leading the increase in bookings in Europe, while America is seeing advances in Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, and Caribbean destinations, with notable increases in Mexico, Colombia, and the Dominican Republic. In North America, leisure destinations like Orlando and Las Vegas are also exhibiting increases of over 50%, reflecting the sector’s capacity to adapt to global conditions.

In light of potential logistical complications in the Middle East, Civitatis has activated support protocols for agencies and travelers, including refund handling and flexible date changes. Collectively, the trend confirms the role of Spain and America as key axes for international tourism during a period marked by regional instability, and Granada is consolidating its position as a European cultural reference, especially relevant during high-demand periods like Holy Week.
