Portuguese Atlantic

Timanfaya National Park

La Graciosa
The small inhabited island and the cliffs of Famara are often visible during the standard approach from the north.
Sit on the right for the best photographic opportunities of Lanzarote’s volcanic terrain. Most flights approach ACE from the north; as the plane descends, you will fly parallel to the dramatic Famara cliffs and the volcanic badlands. For afternoon flights, be prepared for some sun glare, so bring a high-quality polarizing filter for photos.

Keep an eye out for the distinctive salt pans (Salinas) near the coast.
