Loire Valley
A glimpse of the winding Loire River and its collection of historic French châteaux.
High Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the highest summits of the mountain range that separates France and Spain.
Spanish Meseta
The high, golden plateau of central Spain, characterized by unique agricultural patterns and arid terrain.
Mar Chica Lagoon
A stunning view of the large saltwater lagoon and the city of Melilla during the descent into Nador.
The right side is unbeatable for the landing phase. As the plane descends into Nador (NDR), it typically flies along the coast, offering a bird's-eye view of the Spanish enclave of Melilla and the unique semi-circular Mar Chica lagoon. Afternoon flights are best on this side to capture the golden hour light over the Moroccan coast.
