Barcelona Skyline
Immediate views of the Catalan capital and the iconic Sagrada Familia depending on takeoff direction.
Ebro Delta
The distinct triangular shape of the Ebro River delta, one of the most important wetland areas in Europe.
Valencia and Albufera
A clear view of Spain's third-largest city and the adjacent coastal lagoon known for its rice paddies.
Sierra Nevada
Spectacular views of Spain's highest peaks near Granada, often snow-capped from November to May.
Costa del Sol
The densely populated and sunny coastline leading into Malaga as the aircraft begins its final descent.
The right side is the definitive choice for sightseeing. For the best experience, fly during the afternoon when the sun is behind the plane, illuminating the coastline without glare. The Sierra Nevada mountains are the absolute highlight near the end of the flight; keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing.

Mediterranean Sea
Vast, deep blue views of the Balearic Sea and the open Mediterranean throughout the journey.
Shipping Lanes
Spot commercial cargo ships and ferries traversing between the mainland and the Balearic Islands.
Cabo de Gata
View the rugged, volcanic coastline of southeastern Spain as the plane turns toward Malaga.
Balearic Horizon
On very clear days, the distant silhouettes of Ibiza or Mallorca may be visible to the east.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to witness the sunrise reflecting off the water. It offers a more serene, minimalist view focused on the horizon and marine traffic. Ensure you are seated away from the wing for the clearest view of the Alboran Sea during the final approach.
