Central Pyrenees
Breathtaking views of the highest peaks in the Pyrenees range, including Aneto and the Maladeta massif.
Ebro Valley
The dramatic transition from the lush French foothills to the arid, golden plains of the Ebro basin in Spain.
Castilian Plateau
A vast expanse of the high Spanish interior, dotted with remote villages and historic agricultural patterns.
Douro River Valley
On descent into Porto, look down to see the world-famous terraced vineyards and the winding Douro river.
Choose a window seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion of the Pyrenees. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you, illuminating the mountains perfectly. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, stay alert for the Douro river as it signals the final approach into OPO.
