Ebro Delta
The distinctive bird-foot shaped wetland where the Ebro river meets the sea, creating a patchwork of rice fields.
Valencia Port
A sprawling view of Spain's third-largest city, its modern architecture, and its massive industrial port area.
Sierra Nevada
Breathtaking views of the highest peaks in mainland Spain, which remain snow-capped for much of the year.
Alhambra Palace
The iconic Moorish citadel is often visible nestled on the hillside of Granada during the final descent.
Costa Blanca
The rugged white coastline featuring the dramatic rock of Ifach and the unique high-rise skyline of Benidorm.
Sit on the right side for a morning flight to have the sun behind you while viewing the coastline. The Ebro Delta appears approximately 15-20 minutes after takeoff. Keep your camera ready as you approach Granada for the stunning contrast between the arid plains and the snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountains. If landing from the west, the Alhambra will be clearly visible nestled against the hills.

Barcelona Port
Immediate views of the Mediterranean's leading cruise port and the southern coastline of the city upon takeoff.
Balearic Horizon
On clear days, the distant silhouettes of Ibiza and Mallorca may appear as faint shapes on the eastern horizon.
Mar Menor
The largest coastal lagoon in Spain, appearing as a vast, shallow turquoise body of water separated from the sea.
Alboran Sea
Vast maritime views of shipping lanes connecting the Mediterranean to the Atlantic and North Africa.
The left side offers peaceful maritime views. In the late afternoon, the sun will be on this side, which may cause significant glare. Watch for the Mar Menor lagoon near Murcia, which looks like a giant blue eye from above. On exceptionally clear days, look far left to spot the Balearic Islands shortly after reaching cruise altitude.
