La Mancha Plains
The vast, geometric agricultural patterns of the Spanish plateau, often featuring vineyards and olive groves.
Mediterranean Entry
The transition from the deep browns of the mainland to the bright azure of the Balearic Sea near Gandia.
Es Vedrà
The legendary and magnetic limestone rock island rising 400 meters from the sea, usually visible on the final approach.
Ses Salines
The sparkling salt pans of southern Ibiza, showing vibrant colors ranging from pink to emerald green.
Formentera
Uninterrupted views of Ibiza's sister island and the thin strip of sand known as Es Trucadors.
The right side is essential for the 'Es Vedrà' photo opportunity. Choose an afternoon flight for spectacular golden hour lighting over the salt flats and Formentera. Ensure you are seated away from the wing for the best view of the coastline during the low-altitude descent.

Embalse de Alarcón
A massive turquoise reservoir in Cuenca that stands out against the dry landscape of Castilla-La Mancha.
Costa Blanca North
Distant views of the Dénia and Jávea coastline as the aircraft leaves the Spanish mainland for the Mediterranean.
Ibiza North Coast
Rugged cliffs and hidden coves of the northern part of the island visible during the descent into IBZ.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun glare. If the flight approaches from the north, you will get a great view of the Port of Ibiza and Dalt Vila (the old town) just before landing.
