Barcelona Urban Grid
A stunning aerial view of the Eixample district's unique block patterns and the Sagrada Família.
Montserrat Massif
The iconic, saw-toothed mountain range located just northwest of Barcelona is clearly visible shortly after takeoff.
Central System Mountains
Views of the Sierra de Gredos, featuring granite peaks that remain snow-covered well into the spring.
Madrid Skyline
On clear days, the 'Four Towers' business area of Madrid can be seen as a distinct silhouette on the horizon.
Medieval Trujillo
The historic hilltop town of Trujillo often appears as a cluster of ancient stone buildings as you enter Extremadura.
The right side is the 'mountain side.' In winter and spring, you will see the best snow-capped peaks here. Request a window seat away from the wing to fully capture the contrast between the jagged Montserrat peaks and the flat Meseta plateau. During sunset flights, this side experiences the 'golden hour' glow over the Spanish mountains.

Mediterranean Coastline
Panoramic views of the Catalan coast and the blue expanse of the Balearic Sea during the initial climb.
La Mancha Plains
The vast, golden agricultural landscapes of Don Quixote's homeland across the central plateau.
Embalse de Orellana
One of the largest reservoirs in the Guadiana basin, appearing as a massive blue oasis in the Extremaduran landscape.
Guadiana River Valley
The fertile green patches and irrigation networks that define the approach into the Badajoz region.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. This side is excellent for spotting the massive reservoirs of Extremadura which look like inland seas against the dry terrain. Keep an eye out for the Ebro River winding through the landscape in the first third of the flight.
