Our Recommendation
8.5

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.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

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.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

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.
