Capo Caccia
Massive limestone cliffs and the entrance to Neptune's Grotto visible immediately after takeoff from Alghero.
Cap de Creus
The easternmost point of the Iberian Peninsula, characterized by jagged rocks and small hidden turquoise coves.
Gulf of Roses
A sweeping 16-kilometer bay with vast sandy beaches and the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà wetlands.
Medes Islands
A small group of seven islets near L'Estartit, known as one of the most important marine flora and fauna reserves in the western Mediterranean.
The Pyrenees
The snow-capped peaks of the high Pyrenees are visible on the horizon to the north as the plane enters Spanish airspace.
Secure a window seat on the right for the best geographical landmarks. The transition from the Sardinian coast to the rugged Catalan coastline is breathtaking. Choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the red cliffs of the Costa Brava and the distant Pyrenees peaks perfectly.

Alghero Old Town
Aerial view of the historic fortified city and its distinctive yellow-tiled church domes during initial ascent.
Balearic Sea
Deep blue expanses of the Mediterranean, often dotted with cargo ships and ferries on major shipping routes.
Tossa de Mar
The southern stretch of the Costa Brava featuring medieval castle walls overlooking the beach during the descent.
The left side is generally quieter visually as it faces the open sea for most of the transit. However, it avoids the harsh afternoon sun when flying westward. On the final approach into GRO, you may catch glimpses of the Maresme coast if the plane loops south for landing.
