Alcazaba of Almería
Immediate views of the historic Moorish fortress and the city's port right after takeoff.
Sierra Nevada Peaks
Distant views of mainland Spain’s highest mountains, often snow-capped from November to May.
Mount Gurugú
The extinct volcano and highest point of the Guelaya Peninsula providing a dramatic backdrop to Melilla.
Mar Chica Lagoon
The turquoise waters of the 115-square-kilometer salt-water lagoon located just across the border in Nador.
The Enclave Perimeter
A clear aerial perspective of the distinct border fence and the urban contrast between Melilla and Morocco.
The right side is a must for photographers. Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the Nador lagoon during the descent. For the best lighting on the Moroccan mountains and the Melilla citadel, book a flight in the late afternoon.

Alboran Sea
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue waters of the westernmost Mediterranean.
Shipping Lanes
Observation of major maritime traffic routes connecting the Mediterranean and the Atlantic.
Mediterranean Horizon
Clear views of the horizon, particularly vibrant during sunrise flights.
Ideal for passengers seeking a calm, glare-free flight. During the morning, this side stays in the shade, making it easier to spot passing vessels or the distant silhouette of the Alboran Island if the flight path tracks eastward.
