Dramatic views of the limestone peaks of Urkiola and Gorbea shortly after takeoff from Bilbao.
Ebro River Basin
The winding Ebro river cutting through the diverse landscapes of La Rioja and Aragon.
Pyrenees Vista
On clear days, the snow-capped high peaks of the Pyrenees are visible on the far eastern horizon.
Costa del Azahar
The transition from the Spanish mainland to the turquoise Mediterranean sea near Castellón.
Ibiza Town (Dalt Vila)
The UNESCO-listed fortress and historic old town are frequently visible during the descent into IBZ.
Formentera
Crystal clear views of the smallest Balearic island and the narrow 'Es Trucadors' sandspit.
Sit on the left for the best morning light on the mountains. During the descent, keep your camera ready as the plane turns over the Mediterranean, providing a panoramic view of the Ibiza coastline and the port area. In summer, the Pyrenees visibility is best during early morning flights before haze develops.

Bilbao Cityscape
Immediate views of the Nervión river and the urban architecture of Bilbao upon departure.
Spanish Meseta
The vast, golden high plains of central Spain showing a stark contrast to the green north.
Serranía de Cuenca
Rugged forest terrain and deep river canyons visible as you fly south toward the coast.
Valencia & Albufera
A great view of Spain's third-largest city and the massive Albufera freshwater lagoon.
Es Vedrà
The mythical and majestic 400m tall rock island rising from the sea during the western approach.
The right side is ideal for sunset flights, as you'll see the sun dipping below the Spanish plateau. Watch for the Albufera lake near Valencia; its reflective surface is unmistakable. If the aircraft approaches Ibiza from the west, the iconic Es Vedrà rock will be the star attraction on this side.
