Rhone Valley
Aerial perspective of the winding Rhone River and the famous vineyards of the Lyon and Valence regions.
Eastern Pyrenees
A dramatic crossing of the high-altitude border between France and Spain, often showcasing jagged peaks and glacial lakes.
La Mancha Plains
The iconic arid landscapes of central Spain, characterized by red earth, olive groves, and historic windmills.
Sierra Nevada
The highest peaks of mainland Spain, including Mulhacén, often visible with snow caps even in late spring.
Costa del Sol Arrival
Stunning views of the Mediterranean coastline and the city of Malaga during the final turn for landing.
For the best experience, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Alps and the Pyrenees. Sit several rows ahead of or behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Sierra Nevada mountains during the descent. During winter months, the contrast between the snowy Pyrenees and the dry Spanish interior is particularly striking.
