Madrid Skyline
A clear view of the Four Towers Business Area and the urban sprawl of Madrid during the initial climb out of Barajas.
Sierra de Guadarrama
Dramatic views of the Peñalara peak and the granite formations of the National Park, often snow-capped in winter.
Segovia Province
The rolling plains of the Meseta Central where the historic landscape of Castile unfolds beneath the wing.
Ribera del Duero
The flight crosses the famous wine-producing region near Aranda de Duero, characterized by structured vineyard patches.
Sierra de la Demanda
Dense pine forests and the San Lorenzo peak dominate the view as the plane begins its descent into the Ebro valley.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh eastern sun. Keep your camera ready about 10 minutes after takeoff for the best shots of the Central System mountains. In winter, the contrast between the brown plateau and white peaks is spectacular.

High Soria Plateau
Sparse, atmospheric landscapes of the high-altitude plains known for their unique light and rugged terrain.
Moncayo Massif
On clear days, the distant silhouette of Mount Moncayo, the highest point in the Sistema Ibérico, is visible to the east.
La Rioja Vineyards
A patchwork of green and gold vineyards as the aircraft lines up for the final approach into Agoncillo.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun moves west, illuminating the Ebro valley. Look for the winding Ebro River during the final five minutes of flight; its green banks provide a sharp contrast to the surrounding red earth.
