Which side of the plane to sit from Marseille Provence Airport (Marseille) to Sevilla Airport (Sevilla)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a spectacular panorama of the Mediterranean coastline, including the rugged Calanques of Marseille, the urban grid of Barcelona, and the unique geography of the Ebro Delta.
Calanques National Park
Aerial views of the turquoise coves and limestone cliffs immediately after takeoff from Marseille.
Barcelona Cityscape
Clear visibility of the Sagrada Familia and the perfectly square blocks of the Eixample district.
Ebro Delta
The striking bird-foot shape of one of the Mediterranean's most important wetland areas.
Costa Blanca
Glistening white beaches and high-rise coastal developments like Benidorm visible along the shoreline.
Sierra Nevada Peaks
On clear days, the snow-capped Mulhacén peak, the highest on the Iberian Peninsula, is visible to the south.
Choose a morning flight for the best illumination of the coastline without the glare from the Mediterranean Sea. If flying in the late afternoon, expect the sun to be on this side, making photography difficult. Sit behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Ebro Delta.
The Pyrenees
The jagged, snow-capped peaks of the mountain range forming the border between France and Spain.
Montserrat
The distinctive multi-peaked rocky range near Barcelona, known for its unique rounded shapes.
The Meseta
The vast, high-altitude plateau of central Spain, showing a patchwork of golden and green fields.
La Mancha Castles
Occasional sightings of medieval fortifications and wind turbines across the arid plains.
Sierra Morena
The rugged, forested mountains that mark the final descent into the fertile Guadalquivir valley.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights as the setting sun casts dramatic long shadows over the Spanish Meseta and the Sierra Morena. Keep an eye out for the Ebro River snaking through the landscape shortly after crossing the border.
