Bay of Biscay
Immediate views of the deep blue Atlantic and the Txingudi Bay upon takeoff from Hondarribia.
High Pyrenees
Breathtaking perspectives of the highest peaks in the range, including Aneto, often snow-capped well into summer.
Glacial Valleys
A bird's-eye view of deep-cut valleys and alpine lakes scattered throughout the Spanish-French border region.
Costa Brava
The rugged coastline of northern Catalonia where the mountains finally meet the Mediterranean Sea.
Barcelona Beaches
Clear views of the city's coastline and the iconic Eixample grid pattern as the plane lines up for its final approach.
Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Pyrenees peaks perfectly. Sit several rows ahead of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the mountain ridges. During winter, look for the stark contrast between the white peaks and the green Basque valleys.

Basque Mountains
Rolling green hills and limestone massifs like Aizkorri that define the Basque Country's interior.
Ebro River Basin
The winding path of Spain's most voluminous river cutting through the arid landscapes of Aragon.
Montserrat Massif
The unmistakable saw-toothed silhouette of Catalonia’s most sacred and unique mountain range.
Port of Barcelona
A comprehensive view of the massive logistics hub, cruise terminals, and the W Hotel skyscraper.
Montjuïc Hill
The Olympic stadium and the hilltop castle overlooking the Mediterranean and the city center.
The right side is superior for seeing the unique 'multi-peaked' Montserrat just before landing. If the flight arrives from the south (runway 06R), the right side provides an incredible panorama of the city center and the Sagrada Família. Keep your camera ready as you pass the Llobregat Delta.
