Barcelona City
The unique grid system of the Eixample district and the Sagrada Família are often visible from the coast.
Menorca West Coast

The right side is essential for mountain lovers; the Pyrenees crossing occurs roughly 90 minutes into the flight and provides the most dramatic scenery. Keep your camera ready as you approach the Balearic Sea for views of Barcelona. Note that for sunset flights, this side will experience significant glare, making photography difficult without a polarized lens.

If the flight path takes a more easterly route over France, you may also catch glimpses of the French Alps in the far distance.
