Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular aerial tour of the Spanish interior and the most iconic view of Palma's harbor and cathedral upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
⛰️

Basque Massifs

Rugged limestone peaks of the Aizkorri-Aratz Natural Park visible shortly after the southern departure from Bilbao.

🏚️

Aragon Badlands

Arid, reddish-brown canyon landscapes and plateaus near the Teruel region of central Spain.

🏙️

Valencia Skyline

A clear view of the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences and the expansive Port of Valencia.

🏝️

Columbretes Islands

A cluster of small, uninhabited volcanic islets located halfway between the mainland and Mallorca.

⛪

Palma Cathedral

The stunning 'La Seu' Gothic cathedral and the luxury yachts of Palma harbor during the final descent.

The right side is the clear winner for the approach into Palma de Mallorca. For the most common landing pattern (Runway 24), this side provides a breathtaking view of the city and its cathedral. Choose an afternoon flight to see the sun set over the Mediterranean and illuminate the golden stone of the cathedral as you land. Watch for the city of Valencia about 45 minutes after takeoff.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
🏔️

Pyrenees Horizon

The high peaks of the central Pyrenees are visible as a jagged silhouette on the eastern horizon.

🍷

Ebro Valley

Rich agricultural patterns and the winding Ebro river crossing the La Rioja wine region.

💧

Ebro Delta

The massive, bird-foot shaped delta extending into the Mediterranean Sea near the end of the mainland crossing.

🌊

Tramuntana Coast

The steep, dramatic cliffs of Mallorca's northern UNESCO-protected mountain range.

🏞️

Montserrat Massif

On clear days, the unique serrated peaks of the Montserrat mountains are visible to the far northeast.

Sit on the left for better views of the Pyrenees and the rugged northern spine of Mallorca. Morning flights are ideal for this side as the sun will be behind you, providing better visibility and photo opportunities of the Ebro Delta. In winter, this side is particularly scenic due to the snow-capped mountain ranges on the horizon.
