Search flights from LCG to BCN
Galician Rias
Aerial views of the Rias Altas estuaries and the wild Atlantic coastline immediately after departure from LCG.
Picos de Europa
Spectacular sightings of the highest peaks in the Cantabrian Mountains, often snow-capped in winter and spring.
Cantabrian Seaboard
Continuous views of the Bay of Biscay and the coastal cities of Gijon and Santander as you fly east.
Bilbao and the Nervion
A clear view of the Greater Bilbao area and the industrial estuary before the route turns inland toward Catalonia.
Central Pyrenees
Distant but impressive views of the high Pyrenean peaks forming the border with France to the north.
For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Morning flights provide excellent front-lighting on the Picos de Europa, while late afternoon flights offer a soft glow over the Bay of Biscay. Keep an eye out for the Tower of Hercules shortly after takeoff if the plane departs toward the sea.
