Nama Alhambra berasal dari bahasa Arab, dan bererti Istana Merah. Bangunan ini banyak dihiasi ubin-ubin dan bata-bata berwarna merah, serta penghias dinding yang agak kemerah-merahan dengan seramik yang bercirikan seni-seni binaan Islam yang hebat, di samping marmar yang putih dan indah.

Ini sebenarnya lokasi sebenar yang ingin dilawati: Granada di Sepanyol...
Granada is a city and the capital of the province of Granada, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain. Granada is located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains, at the confluence of three rivers, the Beiro, the Darro and the Genil.
Alangkah terkejutnya apabila kapal terbang yang dinaikinya sebenarnya ke negara GRENADA
“Saya terkejut apabila kru pesawat mengatakan penerbangan itu bukan ke Sepanyol tetapi ke Grenada, Caribbean. “Saya mengambil pesawat dari Gatwick menerusi pesawat British Airways dan kesilapan itu hanya disedari selepas dua jam berada dalam pesawat. Tempahan penerbangan dilakukan melalui telefon. Ketika melihat tiket berkenaan, saya fikir destinasi itu mempunyai perbezaan waktu dan saya hanya membiarkan sahaja," kata Lamenda.

"I started to tell [another passenger] that this was part of my bucket list and I was so looking forward to seeing the Alhambra, and she replied 'not on this flight you won't'. "I just froze because I did think I was going to Spain, I thought we'd be landing soon."
Penerbangan ke GRENADA itu mengambil masa 10 jam (walhal untuk ke Granada, ia hanya 2 jam)
Grenada is an island country and commonwealth realm consisting of the island of Grenada and six smaller islands at the southern end of the Grenadines in the southeastern Caribbean Sea. Grenada is located northwest of Trinidad and Tobago, northeast of Venezuela, and southwest of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
Syarikat pelancongan Avios telah menebus balik kesilapan tersebut
Avios reimbursed the cost of her flights and gave her additional points, which she said she hoped to use to travel to New Zealand, another destination she had identified on her list.
Craig Holland from the company said that as soon as the error was brought to their attention, "we reimbursed her [points] and all her expenses, and gave her more as compensation".
