Barcelona Coastline
Immediate views of the Llobregat Delta and the industrial port area right after takeoff from BCN.
Costa Blanca & Valencia
Stunning aerial views of the Spanish Levant, including the Albufera wetlands and the city of Valencia.
Sierra Nevada
The highest peaks in mainland Spain, often snow-capped, providing a dramatic contrast to the nearby coastline.
Strait of Gibraltar
A glimpse of the narrow maritime corridor where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean and Europe meets Africa.
Atlantic Shoreline
The rugged coastline of northern Morocco and the city of Rabat as the aircraft turns toward Casablanca.
The right side is the definitive choice for landmarks. For the best experience, book a late afternoon flight to see the Spanish coast bathed in warm 'golden hour' light. Keep your eyes peeled for the Mulhacén peak in the Sierra Nevada range—it is unmistakable even in summer. During the final approach to CMN, you may see the Hassan II Mosque's minaret on the horizon if the flight path hugs the coast.

Deep blue views of the Balearic Sea and Alboran Sea during the mid-flight transit.
Ibiza & Formentera
Distant silhouettes of the Pityusic Islands visible on clear days shortly after leaving the Catalan coast.
Rif Mountains
Rugged limestone peaks and green valleys of northern Morocco as the plane crosses the Mediterranean.
Gharb Plain
The fertile agricultural heartland of northern Morocco, showcasing a patchwork of green fields before the descent.
Sit on the left if you prefer the vastness of the sea and want to see the sun reflecting off the Mediterranean. On early morning flights, this side will experience direct sunlight, so keep your window shade ready. Look for the distant African coastline emerging roughly 45-60 minutes into the flight.
