Search flights from BCN to RGS
The Pyrenees
A continuous horizon of high-altitude peaks forming the natural border between Spain and France.
Bardenas Reales
The striking lunar-like erosion patterns and badlands of the Navarre semi-desert biosphere reserve.
La Rioja Vineyards
Extensive geometric patterns of world-famous grapevines surrounding the city of Logroño.
Burgos Cathedral
The iconic twin spires of the Gothic UNESCO World Heritage site visible during the final descent into RGS.
Morning flights are ideal for the right side to avoid sun glare while viewing the Pyrenees. Watch for the change in landscape from the Mediterranean coast to the rugged northern mountains. If the approach into Burgos is from the east, you will get a prime view of the historic city center just before landing.

Montserrat Massif
The unique jagged peaks of the Montserrat mountain range visible shortly after departure from Barcelona.
Ebro River Meanders
Dramatic winding turns of Spain's most voluminous river as it cuts through the arid Aragon plains.
Moncayo Massif
The highest peak in the Sistema Ibérico, often snow-capped during winter and spring months.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during late afternoon flights. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff as the plane banks west, providing a brief but excellent profile view of the Montserrat monastery complex and the surrounding natural park.
