Spanish Levant
Early views of the Mediterranean coastline including Valencia and the Balearic Sea.
Sahara Edge

The first sighting of South America, featuring the turquoise waters of Recife and Salvador.
Rio de Janeiro Coast

Rio de la Plata
The massive brown estuary separating Uruguay and Argentina during the final descent.
Choose the left side for the best sunrise views as you cross the equator and approach the Brazilian coast. Most flights depart BCN in the evening, meaning the transition from night to day happens over the Atlantic. During the descent into EZE, the left side usually offers a better view of the Buenos Aires city skyline across the water.

Barcelona Skyline
Excellent views of the city's grid layout and the Sagrada Família shortly after takeoff.
Canary Islands
Depending on the corridor, views of Fuerteventura or Lanzarote are possible during the first 3 hours.
Intertropical Convergence Zone
Dramatic cloud formations and towering thunderstorms typical of the equatorial crossing.
Brazilian Hinterland
Expansive views of the interior plateaus and the transition to the Atlantic forest.
The Pampas
The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Argentina as the plane aligns for landing.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunset over the Atlantic shortly after leaving the Spanish coast. It is also the better side for observing the scale of the Argentine Pampas during the final approach. If the flight path takes a more westerly route, you might catch the remote Cape Verde islands.
