AGP → OVD
Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Asturias Airport (Aviles)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for Spain's most dramatic mountain ranges, including distant views of the Sierra Nevada after takeoff and a spectacular close-up of the Picos de Europa during the descent into Asturias.
Search flights from AGP to OVD
Sierra Nevada
Mainland Spain's highest peaks, often snow-capped, visible shortly after departing Málaga.
Madrid Skyline
Depending on the airway, the four skyscrapers of the Cuatro Torres Business Area and the city's urban sprawl.
Sierra de Guadarrama
Lush pine forests and the Peñalara peak marking the northern boundary of the Madrid region.
Picos de Europa
The crown jewel of the route: massive limestone massifs that define the Asturian horizon.
The Green Coast
The striking transition to the emerald-green valleys and dense forests of Asturias.
The right side is the 'mountain side'. For the best experience, choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the Picos de Europa from the east. Keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes before landing, as the contrast between the dry Castilian plains and the lush Asturian mountains is most visible from this side.

Costa del Sol
Aerial views of the western Málaga coastline and the Mediterranean stretching toward the Strait of Gibraltar.
Extremadura Dehesas
The unique 'dehesa' landscape of holm oaks and cork trees typical of western Spain.
Sierra de Gredos
Jagged granite peaks and glacial lagoons visible as you cross the Central System.
Duero River Basin
The winding Duero river and the golden plains of the Castilian plateau.
Cabo Vidio
Dramatic cliffs and the crashing waves of the Cantabrian Sea during the final approach pattern.
Sit on the left if you want to see the expansive plains of the Meseta and the rugged Gredos range. This side is typically better for sunset views on evening flights as the sun dips toward the Atlantic/Portugal side. During the final descent, watch for the steep coastal cliffs if the plane performs a western approach.
