Aerial view of the ancient city of Tarragona, known for its well-preserved Roman ruins near the shore.
Delta de l'Ebre
The most striking geographic feature of the flight: a massive triangular wetland protruding into the sea.

A rugged, untouched coastal mountain range located between Alcossebre and Peñíscola.
Valencia Cityscape
View the City of Arts and Sciences and the sprawling urban layout of Spain's third-largest city.
Costa Blanca Beaches
The white sandy stretches leading into Alicante, including the popular Benidorm skyline in the distance.
This is the 'land side'. Afternoon flights are best to avoid the sun's glare while photography the coastline. Keep a close eye out about 20 minutes after takeoff for the Ebro Delta, which is the visual highlight of this route.

Mediterranean Sea
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Balearic Sea for the majority of the flight duration.
Port of Barcelona
During takeoff, see the massive logistics hub and cruise ship terminals of the Catalan capital.
Distant Balearics
On exceptionally clear days, you may catch a faint glimpse of the horizon where Ibiza is located.
