Loire Valley
View the winding Loire River and the historic châteaux that dot the lush valley landscapes of central France.
Bordeaux Vineyards
See the geometric patterns of world-famous vineyards as the route passes over the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region.
Picos de Europa
The dramatic, jagged limestone peaks of the Cantabrian Mountains provide a stunning backdrop on the final approach.
Asturian Greenery
Experience 'España Verde' with views of the deep green valleys and rolling hills characteristic of the region.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for clearer photos. In winter, look for snow-capped peaks in the Picos de Europa approximately 20 minutes before landing. Avoid seats directly over the wing (rows 12-20 on typical A320/B737) for unobstructed ground views.
