Bay of Biscay Coast
Dramatic views of the rugged cliffs and hidden coves of the Basque and Cantabrian coastlines.
Castilian Meseta
The geometric patterns of the high plateau's agricultural fields, changing colors with the seasons.
Lanzarote Volcanic Cones
An incredible bird's-eye view of the Timanfaya National Park and the dark volcanic soil of Lanzarote.
Chinijo Archipelago
Clear views of the remote islands of Alegranza, Montana Clara, and La Graciosa north of Lanzarote.
Los Lobos Islet
The small volcanic island sitting in the 'El Rio' strait between Fuerteventura and Lanzarote.
The right side is essential for viewing the 'lunar' landscapes of the Canary Islands. During the descent, the plane usually flies parallel to Lanzarote, providing unmatched views of volcanic craters. To avoid the harshest sunlight on afternoon flights, which can make the landscape look flat, try to book a seat behind the wing to reduce engine heat haze in photos.

Bilbao Urban Landscape
Aerial views of the Guggenheim Museum and the Nervion river cutting through the industrial valley.
Picos de Europa
Distant views of the jagged limestone peaks of the Cantabrian mountain range shortly after takeoff.
Extremadura Reservoirs
The deep blue expanses of the Alcantara and Gabriel y Galan reservoirs contrasting with the arid terrain.
Gulf of Cadiz
The transition from the Iberian Peninsula to the Atlantic Ocean over the sandy shores of Huelva.
Corralejo Sand Dunes
The vast white sand dunes of northern Fuerteventura appearing like a desert in the middle of the ocean.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. It offers the best perspective of the Corralejo Natural Park's dunes during the final approach if the wind is blowing from the north. Watch for the 'mar de nubes' (sea of clouds) often forming against the Spanish northern coast.
