Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountains during the descent and a spectacular perspective of the rugged volcanic coastline of Cabo de Gata upon approach into Almería.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Wicklow Mountains

Beautiful views of the 'Garden of Ireland' and the rolling granite peaks south of Dublin shortly after departure.

🏙️

Madrid Skyline

On clear days, the Cuatro Torres skyscrapers of Spain's capital are visible in the distance to the east.

❄️

Sierra Nevada

Breathtaking views of mainland Spain's highest peaks, including Mulhacén, often snow-covered until late spring.

🌵

Cabo de Gata-Níjar

Stunning volcanic rock formations and hidden turquoise coves of the natural park as the plane aligns for landing.

🏖️

Costa de Almería

A panoramic sweep of the Alboran Sea and the city's ancient Alcazaba fortress just before touchdown.

The right side is the definitive choice for mountain lovers; the Sierra Nevada views are world-class. During the afternoon, be prepared for some glare, but the golden hour lighting over the volcanic cliffs of Cabo de Gata is unparalleled for photography.

🇮🇪

Dublin Bay

Aerial views of the Irish capital, the port, and the distinctive Howth Head peninsula immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

A vast expanse of deep blue Atlantic waters as the flight transitions from Irish to Spanish airspace.

🏔️

Western Pyrenees

The rugged transition from France into Spain, featuring the lush green peaks of the Basque Country.

🏰

La Mancha Plains

The iconic high plateau of central Spain, characterized by red earth and historical agricultural patterns.

🏜️

Tabernas Desert

Europe's only true desert, famous as a filming location for Spaghetti Westerns, visible just north of the city.

Choose the left side for better lighting on morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side provides an excellent view of the unique 'Sea of Plastic' greenhouses in the Poniente region during the final approach.
