Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer diverse landscapes, the right side provides superior views of the Atlantic coastline, the sprawling pine forests of southwestern France, and a stunning approach over the Doñana National Park and the Bay of Cadiz.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🍷

Bordeaux Vineyards

The geometric patterns of world-famous vineyards surrounding the Garonne River.

🌲

Les Landes Forest

One of the largest maritime pine forests in Europe stretching down toward the Spanish border.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

Panoramic views of the rugged Atlantic coastline where the mountains meet the sea.

🏗️

Salamanca & Extremadura

The vast golden plains and massive water reservoirs of western Spain.

🦩

Doñana National Park

A complex mosaic of marshes and dunes where the Guadalquivir River meets the ocean.

⚓

Bay of Cadiz

Breathtaking views of the ancient city of Cadiz jutting into the Atlantic during the final approach.

The right side is unbeatable for late afternoon or evening flights as you may witness a sunset over the Atlantic. The descent into XRY often involves a turn over the coast, offering a perfect view of the salt marshes and the white villages of the Sherry Triangle.

Left Side Highlights

🏰

Luxembourg City

Immediate views of the historic Alzette valley and the fortified Old City shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Massif Central

View of the ancient volcanic peaks and rolling plateaus of south-central France.

⛰️

Central Pyrenees

The dramatic snow-capped peaks of the mountain range dividing France and Spain.

🏙️

Madrid Skyline

On many flight paths, the urban expanse of the Spanish capital is visible to the east.

🌳

Sierra Morena

The rugged, oak-covered mountain range that serves as the gateway to Andalusia.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and to get a better angle on the Central Pyrenees. If the pilot takes a more easterly route, you might catch a glimpse of the Sierra de Grazalema upon descent into Jerez.
