Sierra Nevada
Spain's highest mountain range, often featuring snow-capped peaks like Mulhacén visible 25 minutes after takeoff.
Andalusian Plains
A tapestry of vast olive groves and traditional white-washed villages across the southern Spanish interior.
African Coastline
On clear days, the rugged Rif Mountains of Morocco can be seen across the narrow Strait of Gibraltar.
Strait of Gibraltar
The critical maritime gateway where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean.
Gran Canaria Highlands
Stunning views of the island's central volcanic peaks and the Roque Nublo during the final approach.
Opt for an 'A' seat to witness the Sierra Nevada peaks about 20-30 minutes into the flight. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the Spanish coastline and the African horizon. During landing at LPA, this side often provides a better view of the island's mountainous interior.

Alicante Coastline
Panoramic views of the Mediterranean beaches and the city of Alicante immediately after takeoff.
Sierra de Segura
Vast forested mountain landscapes of one of Spain's largest protected natural parks.
Doñana National Park
The sprawling wetlands and marshes of the Guadalquivir river delta as the plane leaves the mainland.
Atlantic Horizon
An uninterrupted view of the deep blue Atlantic, offering great opportunities for cloud spotting.
Las Palmas
The northern coastline of Gran Canaria and the bustling port of Las Palmas during descent.
Choose an 'F' seat for the best views of the Costa Blanca during the climb-out. While the middle of the flight is mostly over the ocean, look for the 'Isleta' peninsula as you approach Gran Canaria. In the afternoon, use window shades to mitigate the harsh glare of the sun over the Atlantic.
