Mount Gurugú

Costa del Sol
The sprawling beaches of Torremolinos and Benalmádena visible during the initial climb.
The right side is superior for landmark hunting. On takeoff, look for the Alcazaba fortress in Málaga. During the descent, the plane often hugs the Moroccan coastline; you will see the sharp contrast between the sea and the rugged cliffs of Cap des Trois Fourches. Late afternoon flights provide dramatic lighting over the African peaks.
