Search flights from FAO to XRY
East Algarve Coast
Endless stretches of golden sand bars and barrier islands like Ilha de Tavira.
Isla Cristina
A traditional Spanish fishing town characterized by its complex network of canals.
Doñana National Park
A UNESCO World Heritage site featuring vast mobile dunes and untouched pine forests.
Guadalquivir Estuary
The massive river mouth where the Guadalquivir meets the Atlantic Ocean.
Sanlúcar de Barrameda
The historic town famous for its beach horse races and Manzanilla sherry production.
Bay of Cádiz
Distant views of the iconic Constitution of 1812 Bridge and the white city of Cádiz.
The right side is superior for coastal photography. Since the flight is very short and low-altitude, details like the waves and sand dunes are highly visible. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you or directly above, providing perfect lighting for the turquoise waters of the Atlantic and the green canopy of the Doñana forests.
Book Hotels in Jerez
Ria Formosa Nature Park
Labyrinthine lagoons and salt pans visible immediately after takeoff from Faro.
Guadiana International Bridge
The cable-stayed bridge marking the physical border between Portugal and Spain.
Huelva Industrial Hub
Views of the major chemical and energy complex along the Odiel and Tinto rivers.
Andalusian Countryside
The transition into the flat, agricultural plains of the Guadalquivir basin.
Jerez Vineyards
The distinct white 'albariza' soil of the sherry-producing vineyards surrounding the city.
Sit on the left if you want to see the geographical border crossing clearly. Morning flights provide soft lighting over the Huelva marshes, making the salt flats glisten. Watch for the transformation of the landscape from the rugged Algarve interior to the vast Spanish agricultural plains.
