Which side of the plane to sit from Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona) to Jerez Airport (Jerez)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning combination of Mediterranean coastal views, the unique geography of the Ebro Delta, and the high-altitude peaks of the Sierra Nevada mountains.
Costa Daurada
Golden beaches and coastal resorts visible immediately after the climb from Barcelona.
Ebro Delta
The distinct bird-beak shaped wetland where Spain's longest river meets the sea.
Levante Coast
The turquoise waters and rocky inlets of the Valencia and Alicante coastlines.
Sierra Nevada
The highest peaks in mainland Spain, often covered in snow even during spring months.
Granada Environs
The rugged foothills and historic landscapes surrounding the city of Granada.
Sit on the left for the best coastal panoramas. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you or directly overhead, providing clear, high-contrast views of the Mediterranean. Keep your eyes peeled for the Mulhacén peak as you cross into Andalusia.
Montserrat
The iconic jagged peaks of the Montserrat massif visible shortly after takeoff.
La Mancha Plains
The vast, geometric agricultural patchwork of the Spanish central plateau.
Sierra Morena
The dense, green forested hills that form the natural border to northern Andalusia.
Guadalquivir Valley
The fertile river valley that serves as the heart of Andalusian agriculture.
White Villages
Glimpses of 'Pueblos Blancos' like Arcos de la Frontera during the final descent into Jerez.
The right side is ideal for seeing the diverse interior landscapes of Spain. On late afternoon flights, you may experience significant glare from the sun as it sets over the Atlantic, so morning or midday flights are preferable for this side.
