Which side of the plane to sit from A Coruña Airport (La Coruna) to Sevilla Airport (Sevilla)?

Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior perspective of the rugged Monfragüe National Park and the historic urban layouts of inland Spain, providing a diverse mix of natural and architectural scenery.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌲

Galician Interior

Rolling green hills and granite landscapes of the Ourense region shortly after takeoff.

🦅

Monfragüe National Park

Dramatic quartzite cliffs and the meandering Tajo River, famous for its birdlife and rugged terrain.

🏛️

Mérida Heritage

The distinct urban grid of this historic city, known for its extensive Roman ruins and bridges.

⛰️

Sierra Norte de Sevilla

Dense holm oak forests and undulating peaks marking the final descent into the Guadalquivir valley.

🚜

The Dehesas

Vast Mediterranean pastures filled with cork and oak trees unique to the Extremadura region.

Sit on the left to avoid direct glare during afternoon flights. Mid-flight, look for the sharp bend in the Tajo River which indicates Monfragüe. Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography over the Extremaduran plains. Watch for the transformation from green Galician valleys to the reddish hues of the southern plateaus.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🌊

Rías Baixas

In the distance, the jagged Atlantic coastline and deep estuaries are often visible during initial climb.

🏜️

Arribes del Duero

Stunning deep canyons carved by the Duero River forming the natural border with Portugal.

⛪

Salamanca Cityscape

The golden-hued sandstone architecture of this famous university city is often visible to the west.

💧

Alcántara Reservoir

One of the largest reservoirs in Spain, appearing as a massive blue sapphire amidst the arid landscape.

🫒

Andalusia Olive Groves

Endless geometric patterns of olive trees as the plane approaches the Seville province.

The right side is perfect for sunset views if flying in the evening. Keep your eyes peeled for the Portuguese border—the landscape often looks noticeably different across the frontier. Note the massive Alqueva reservoir further south if visibility is high. During the final approach, the solar towers of Sanlúcar la Mayor might glint in the distance.
