🏙️

Málaga Cityscape

A clear view of the Port of Málaga, the cathedral, and the historic Alcazaba fortress immediately after takeoff.

❄️

Sierra Nevada

In the distance to the east, the highest peaks of mainland Spain are often topped with snow well into summer.

🏗️

Madrid Metropolitan Area

On clear days, the skyscrapers of Spain's capital can be seen rising from the central plains.

🏖️

Costa Verde

The lush, verdant coastline of the Basque Country and Cantabria as the aircraft leaves the Spanish mainland.

🐚

Jurassic Coast

Stunning red sandstone cliffs and the intricate sandbanks of the Exe Estuary during the approach to Exeter.

Essential for coastal enthusiasts. The departure offers a bird's-eye view of Malaga's harbor, while the arrival provides views of the red cliffs of East Devon. Request a seat ahead of the wing for unobstructed views of the Exe Estuary's sandbanks.
