Bay of Algiers
A full view of the crescent-shaped bay and the bustling Port of Algiers shortly after departure.
Tabarca Island
Spain's smallest inhabited island and marine reserve, appearing as a small speck in the turquoise water near the coast.
Castillo de Santa Bárbara
The iconic medieval fortress sitting atop Mount Benacantil, clearly visible during the final approach.
Alicante Marina
The vibrant harbor area and the palm-lined Esplanada d'Espanya visible just before touchdown.
Request a window seat on the right for the best photographic opportunities of Alicante. The flight is very short (about 50 minutes), so keep your window shade up for the entire duration. Morning flights provide excellent front-lighting on the Spanish coastline landmarks.

Algiers West District
View of the sprawling capital's residential areas and the Sahel hills immediately after takeoff.
Mediterranean Deep
A vast perspective of the Alboran Sea crossing where the water transitions to a deep azure.
Sierra Espuña
Distant views of the mountain ranges in the Murcia region as the plane begins its descent into Spanish airspace.
The left side is preferable for sunset flights to avoid direct glare while still seeing the orange hues reflect off the Mediterranean. On clear days, you may spot the distant Spanish mainland earlier than on the right.
