The left side of the aircraft provides an incredible gallery of the Spanish and French Mediterranean coastlines, offering continuous views of major cities, dramatic mountain ranges like the Sierra Nevada, and unique geographical features like the Ebro Delta.
Search flights from AGP to MRS
Sierra Nevada Mountains
Shortly after takeoff, view the highest peaks of mainland Spain, often snow-capped even in late spring.
Valencia Cityscape
A clear view of the City of Arts and Sciences and the expansive port area as the plane traverses the Gulf of Valencia.
Ebro Delta
The distinctive 'beak' shape of the Ebro River's mouth, showing a patchwork of rice fields and coastal lagoons.
Barcelona & Montserrat
A stunning aerial view of Barcelona's grid layout and the serrated peaks of Montserrat in the background.
Costa Brava & Pyrenees
The rugged cliffs of the northern Spanish coast with the distant, towering peaks of the Pyrenees mountains.
Camargue Wetlands
The salt pans and lagoons of the Rhone delta, famous for pink flamingos and wild white horses.
Book a window seat on the left (usually 'A' seats) for a continuous panorama of the coastline. For the best lighting, morning flights offer beautiful illumination of the Spanish mountains, while late afternoon flights provide a golden glow over the Mediterranean cities. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Ebro Delta and Barcelona.

Alboran Sea
Deep azure waters visible immediately after departure from Malaga.
Balearic Silhouettes
On clear days, the distant silhouettes of Ibiza and Mallorca can be spotted on the horizon to the east.
Mediterranean Shipping Lanes
Watch for large cargo ships and ferries navigating the busy routes between Europe and North Africa.
Frioul Archipelago
Small limestone islands located just off the coast of Marseille as you descend into MRS.
Marseille Old Port
Depending on the approach pattern, a distant view of the historic harbor and the Basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde.
The right side is dominated by open sea for much of the flight, which can be relaxing but offers less geographical variety. If flying during mid-day, be prepared for significant sun glare off the water; keep your window shade partially closed or wear sunglasses. During the final approach into MRS, you might catch a glimpse of the Calanques national park if the plane circles from the east.
