Which side of the plane to sit from Bilbao Airport (Bilbao) to Sevilla Airport (Sevilla)?

Cantabrian Mountains
Breathtaking views of the limestone peaks and deep valleys of the Cordillera Cantabrica just minutes into the flight.
Castilian Meseta
The vast, high-altitude plateau of Castile and León, featuring unique geometric patterns of grain fields.
Sierra de Gredos
The granite peaks of the Central System, often snow-capped during winter and spring months.
Extremadura Reservoirs
Large, deep-blue bodies of water like the Gabriel y Galán reservoir that stand out against the arid landscape.
Sevilla Historic Center
Clear views of the Cathedral, the Giralda tower, and the Plaza de España during the standard landing pattern.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind or above the plane, preventing glare. For the best view of Sevilla's landmarks, look out the window about 5-10 minutes before landing, especially if the plane is approaching from the south.

Bilbao Urban Area
Aerial views of the Nervion River and the industrial architectural landscape of the Basque capital shortly after departure.
Urkiola Natural Park
Dramatic limestone massifs and green valleys characteristic of the Basque interior.
Madrid Skyline
On clear days, the Four Towers Business Area of Madrid can be seen as a distant silhouette to the southeast.
Sierra Morena
The dense, dark green forested mountains that form the natural gateway between the Meseta and Andalusia.
Guadalquivir Basin
The sprawling, fertile agricultural plains surrounding the approach into Sevilla.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct western sun during the latter half of the journey. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the green north to the golden brown plains of central Spain.
