Costa Brava
The rugged 'Rugged Coast' of Catalonia with its hidden coves and turquoise waters visible during the descent southward.
Balearic Sea Approach
A sweeping view of the Mediterranean horizon before the plane turns inland for the final landing at Valencia.

Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' creates a natural border between Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, often visible shortly after departure.
Massif Central
Distal views of the ancient volcanic plateaus and rolling hills of south-central France.
Ebro Delta
The distinctive triangular wetlands where the Ebro River meets the sea, a major haven for birdlife.
City of Arts and Sciences
Depending on the wind direction, the right side often gets a direct view of Valencia's futuristic architectural complex during landing.
If you are flying in the late afternoon, the right side is perfect for catching a sunset over the Spanish interior. This side is also generally better for seeing the city of Valencia itself and its famous landmarks like the Turia Gardens just before touchdown if the aircraft approaches from the north.
