Cantabrian Mountains
Just after takeoff from Asturias, enjoy views of the rugged peaks and green valleys of northern Spain.
Alentejo Plains
Deep views into the Portuguese interior with its characteristic agricultural patterns and cork forests.
Gulf of Cádiz
Beautiful turquoise transition where the Guadalquivir River meets the Atlantic Ocean.
Alegranza & Montaña Clara
The first sightings of the Canary Islands, featuring these uninhabited, volcanic islets.
La Graciosa Island
A stunning overhead view of the 'eighth' Canary Island and its golden beaches.
Famara Cliffs
The massive 600-meter vertical drop of the Risco de Famara as the plane aligns with the runway.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh Atlantic glare. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, stay alert as the aircraft passes over the northern islets; this is the most scenic part of the journey. If the plane lands on Runway 03, you will see the rugged coastline of Costa Teguise.

Galician Rias
Distant views of the deep estuaries and jagged coastline of Northwest Spain.
Portuguese Coastline
The dramatic meeting of the Iberian Peninsula and the Atlantic, often visible near Lisbon.
Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the ocean, ideal for spotting 'glory' rainbow effects on the clouds.
Timanfaya National Park
On the final approach, look for the reddish-black volcanic 'fire mountains' in the distance.
Puerto del Carmen
Aerial views of the white-washed buildings and turquoise coves of Lanzarote's main resort area.
The right side is perfect for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic. Keep an eye out for 'Calima' (Saharan dust) which can create a surreal orange haze over the horizon. During landing on Runway 03, the right side provides a clear view of the volcanic craters in the island's center.
