The right side offers an unparalleled view of the Sierra de Gredos mountain range and the unique oak-dotted dehesa landscapes of Extremadura.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Sierra de Gredos

The most dramatic feature of the flight, featuring jagged granite peaks often covered in snow.

🏢

Talavera de la Reina

A bird's-eye view of this historic city famous for its pottery, located on the banks of the Tagus.

🌳

The Dehesa

The iconic Extremaduran ecosystem of holm and cork oaks, especially beautiful in spring.

🦅

Tiétar Valley

A lush valley area leading up to the southern slopes of the central mountain system.

The right side is the definitive choice for mountain enthusiasts. In winter, the snow-covered Pico Almanzor is a highlight. Ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing for the best views of the Gredos range.

🏙️

Madrid South

View the sprawling southern suburbs and the urban layout of the Spanish capital.

⛰️

Montes de Toledo

Ancient, weathered mountain ranges appearing as rolling purple ridges to the south.

🌊

Guadiana Reservoirs

Large bodies of water like the Cijara and Orellana reservoirs providing a blue contrast.

🏰

Badajoz City

The historic Alcazaba and the Guadiana river as you descend into Badajoz Airport.

Opt for the left side during late afternoon flights for a golden hour glow over the red Extremaduran plains. It provides a better perspective of the river systems in the southern part of the region.
