Cabo de Gata
Stunning volcanic rock formations and wild beaches where the mountains meet the Mediterranean Sea.
Mar Menor
A massive saltwater lagoon separated from the sea by a narrow 22km strip of land known as La Manga.
Costa Blanca Skyline
Clear views of the Mediterranean coastline, including the high-rise buildings of Benidorm in the distance.
Albufera Natural Park
A vast freshwater lagoon and surrounding rice paddies, marking the final approach into Valencia Airport.
The right side offers the best geographic variety. Keep your eyes peeled halfway through the flight for the Mar Menor—it is one of the most recognizable landmarks from the air. During the landing phase at VLC, you will often pass directly over the Albufera, providing a perfect view of the traditional Valencian landscape.

Sierra Nevada
Dramatic views of the snow-capped Mulhacén and Veleta peaks shortly after departure from Málaga.
Tabernas Desert
The only true desert in mainland Europe, visible with its unique badland topography and dry riverbeds.
Sierras de Cazorla
Lush green mountain ranges and deep blue reservoirs of Spain's largest protected natural space.
Xàtiva Castle
A historic fortress stretching across a mountain ridge, visible as the plane descends towards Valencia.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is especially rewarding in winter when the Sierra Nevada peaks are covered in snow, creating a stark contrast with the Andalusian plains. Watch for the dramatic limestone formations of the Betic System throughout the flight.
