Dalt Vila
Ibiza's historic walled old town and harbor are often visible during the initial climb out.
Costa del Azahar
Views of the 'Orange Blossom Coast' near Castellón as the plane makes landfall on the peninsula.
Teruel Highlands
Striking, erosion-carved landscapes and red clay formations in the Aragon region.
Pyrenees Vista
On exceptionally clear days, the high snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees are visible on the far horizon.
Cantabrian Sea
The deep blue waters of the Bay of Biscay appear as the plane maneuvers for the final approach.
Nervión Estuary
Views of the industrial landscape and green hills surrounding Bilbao just moments before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for catching the Mediterranean coastline and the dramatic final turn over the Bay of Biscay. For afternoon flights, this side avoids the strongest direct sun glare when flying north. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the spectacular Basque coastline.

Es Vedrà
If the flight path banks west, you may see the mystical limestone rock rising 400 meters from the sea.
Sistema Ibérico
Rugged, limestone mountain ranges of central-eastern Spain featuring deep gorges and pine forests.
Ebro Valley
The green agricultural heartland of northern Spain, contrasting sharply with the arid plateaus nearby.
Gorbea Natural Park
Lush green peaks and deep valleys marking the entry into the humid climate of the Basque Country.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Ibiza interior and the dramatic transition from the arid Spanish Meseta to the green mountains of the north. Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze when photographing the Gorbea peaks during descent.
