Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a continuous panorama of the stunning Mediterranean coastline, from the rugged cliffs of Cabo de Gata to the unique geography of the Ebro Delta and the Barcelona city skyline.
Costa del Sol
The shimmering coastline of Andalusia with its famous resort towns stretching away from Málaga.
Cabo de Gata
Striking volcanic rock formations and hidden turquoise coves in the Almería province.
Port of Valencia
A massive industrial and passenger port clearly visible halfway through the flight duration.
Ebro Delta
A spectacular wetland reserve where the Ebro river meets the sea in a distinctive triangular shape.
Barcelona Skyline
Views of the Olympic Port, Sagrada Família, and the W Hotel as you approach BCN airport.
Sit on the right for iconic coastal views. During mid-flight, the Ebro Delta stands out as the most unique geographic feature. Choose a seat forward or aft of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Barcelona shoreline during the final approach.
Sierra Nevada
Europe's most southerly ski resort and the highest peaks in mainland Spain visible shortly after takeoff.
Tabernas Desert
A semi-arid landscape known as mainland Europe's only true desert with its unique badland topography.
Montserrat
The iconic multi-peaked sawtooth mountain range visible to the northwest during the final descent.
Penedès Vineyards
Expansive green carpets of famous Catalan grapevines visible as the plane lowers its altitude.
Opt for the left side if you prefer high-altitude mountain scenery. Watch for the snow-capped Sierra Nevada peaks within the first 15 minutes. Morning flights avoid direct sun glare on this side, making photography of the inland terrain much easier.
