Madrid Cityscape
Panoramic views of the Cuatro Torres Business Area and the Royal Palace if the flight departs towards the south.
La Mancha Plains
The iconic high plateau of central Spain, characterized by vast agricultural fields and windmills.
Sierra Morena
The rugged, dark mountain range that serves as the natural border between Castile and Andalusia.
Córdoba & Guadalquivir
Distant views of the ancient city and the winding path of the river through the fertile valley.
Arcos de la Frontera
Occasional views of the dramatic white-washed cliffside town as the plane maneuvers for landing.
For morning flights, the left side is ideal as the sun will be on the opposite side, preventing glare. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the Madrid skyline and about 15 minutes before landing for the Andalusian countryside.
