Costa del Sol

Sit on the left for the best sunlight in the late morning and early afternoon, as the sun will be on the right side of the aircraft. During the descent into Malaga, the left side typically faces the coastline, providing great views of the sea and the coastal resorts of the Costa del Sol. Keep an eye out about 60-70 minutes into the flight for the best mountain views.

Sierra Morena
The rolling hills and extensive olive groves that define the northern entrance to Andalusia.
Malaga City
If landing from the north, you will see the city center, the Cathedral, and the Gibralfaro Castle.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It offers better views of the Atlantic coastline of France and the rugged hills of northern Andalusia. If the aircraft performs a 'visual approach' from the north into Runway 13, you will get an excellent view of Malaga's historic city center and the port just before touchdown.
