Alboran Sea Crossing
The initial ascent provides views of the deep blue waters separating Morocco and the Spanish coast.
Sierra Nevada Peaks
Distant views of mainland Spain's highest mountains, often snow-capped during winter and spring.
City of Valencia
Aerial perspective of the sprawling coastal city and the modern architecture of the City of Arts and Sciences.
Ebro Delta
The iconic arrow-shaped wetland at the mouth of the Ebro River, famous for its rice fields and lagoons.
Montserrat Mountain
The jagged, multi-peaked serrated mountain range visible during the descent into Barcelona.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look out for the Ebro Delta about 20 minutes before landing, as its unique shape is unmistakable from altitude. During winter, the snow on the Sierra Nevada provides a stunning contrast to the blue sea.
