Lisbon Tagus Estuary
A sweeping view of the Vasco da Gama bridge and the eastern industrial and residential districts of the capital.
Alentejo Hinterland
Vast stretches of agricultural plains, cork oak forests, and traditional Portuguese farm estates.
Ria Formosa
The intricate lagoon system and sandbar islands of the eastern Algarve near Faro.
Spanish Coastline

The Rock of Gibraltar
In the distance, the iconic limestone monolith can often be seen marking the gateway to the Mediterranean.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh western sun. This side is excellent for seeing the transition from the rolling hills of Portugal to the flat salt marshes of the Spanish border. Look out for the white-washed Spanish villages as you descend toward the Strait.
