BCN β VLL
Which side of the plane to sit from Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona) to Valladolid Airport (Valladolid)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular panoramic view of the Pyrenees mountain range to the north and a close-up perspective of the unique Montserrat massif shortly after departure from Barcelona.
Montserrat
The iconic multi-peaked sawtooth mountain range and monastery located just west of Barcelona.
The Pyrenees
A continuous, breathtaking view of the high peaks separating Spain and France along the northern horizon.
Zaragoza City
The capital of Aragon, where you can often spot the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar near the Ebro River.
Sierra de la Demanda
A rugged mountainous area in the north of the Iberian System, visible as the flight enters Old Castile.
Ribera del Duero
The famous wine-producing region characterized by neat rows of vineyards as you approach Valladolid.
The right side is the clear winner for mountain lovers. For the best views of the Pyrenees, choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the southern faces of the peaks. Keep your camera ready within the first 10-15 minutes of takeoff for a prime view of Montserrat's jagged silhouette.
Catalan Shoreline
Aerial views of the Mediterranean coast and the southern outskirts of Barcelona during the initial climb.
Ebro Basin
The fertile agricultural plains of the Ebro valley, showcasing a patchwork of green and ochre fields.
Moncayo Massif
The highest peak in the Sistema IbΓ©rico, often capped with snow, visible to the south as you cross Aragon.
Castilian Plateau
The vast, high-altitude plains of the Meseta Central, characterized by deep red soils and ancient villages.
Tierra de Campos
The 'breadbasket of Spain,' featuring endless cereal fields that change color dramatically with the seasons.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during late afternoon flights as the sun sets over the Castilian horizon. This side is excellent for observing the transition from the coastal mountains to the high plateau. Watch for the winding path of the Ebro River as it snakes through the valley south of your flight path.
