The rugged, volcanic landscape of south-central France featuring ancient domes and plateaus.
The Pyrenees
A spectacular crossing of the high-altitude border between France and Spain with jagged ridgelines.
Valencia
Clear views of the City of Arts and Sciences and the port as you follow the Spanish coast south.
Santa Barbara Castle
The historic fortress perched on Mount Benacantil is often visible during the final banking maneuvers into ALC.
