Gironde Estuary
The massive, silt-rich mouth of the Garonne river where it meets the Atlantic near Bordeaux.
Galician Rias
The lush, green, fjord-like inlets of Northwest Spain, offering a stark contrast to the drier south.
Deep Atlantic
Vast ocean vistas often dotted with container ships navigating the busy shipping lanes towards West Africa.
Mount Teide
Spain's highest peak on Tenerife is frequently visible piercing through the cloud layer to the west as you descend.
Book an afternoon flight to witness a spectacular sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. This side is also better for spotting the majestic silhouette of Mount Teide during the descent. Use a high shutter speed to capture the intricate patterns of the Galician coastline through the plane window.
