MAD → BJZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (Madrid) to Badajoz Airport (Badajoz)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unparalleled view of the Sierra de Gredos mountain range and the unique oak-dotted dehesa landscapes of Extremadura.
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.
