Bay of Biscay
The initial crossing from France toward Spain, offering deep blue ocean views and the receding French coastline.
Picos de Europa
Breathtaking views of the limestone peaks and rugged terrain of the Cantabrian Mountains in northern Spain.
Madrid & Central Spain
Vast panoramas of the Spanish plateau and, depending on the specific flight path, the distant urban sprawl of the capital.
Strait of Gibraltar
The iconic maritime gateway where the European and African continents are separated by only 14 kilometers of water.
Rif Mountains
The first mountain range of Africa, featuring rugged, verdant peaks in northern Morocco.
High Atlas Mountains
Spectacular views of snow-capped peaks (in winter/spring) as the plane prepares for its descent into Marrakech.
Book an early morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Spanish landscapes and the Atlas range perfectly. On the descent, look for the 'Oukaimeden' ski resort area. The transition from the green of northern Spain to the red hues of Morocco is most visible here.
