Doñana National Park
Vast marshes and coastal dunes visible if the flight path enters the mainland via the Gulf of Cádiz.
Castilian Plateau
The expansive, golden-hued agricultural plains of Castile and León in central Spain.
Picos de Europa
Stunning views of the high limestone peaks and deep gorges of the Cantabrian Mountains during descent.
Avilés Estuary
Views of the industrial architecture and the Niemeyer Center just before touchdown at Asturias Airport.
The right side is ideal for seeing the diverse terrain of the Iberian Peninsula. Mid-day flights provide the best light for the Picos de Europa. Look out for the stark contrast between the dry central plains and the lush 'Green Spain' as you cross the mountain ranges.
