Which side of the plane to sit from Asturias Airport (Aviles) to Sevilla Airport (Sevilla)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior for this north-to-south crossing of Spain, offering views of the high peaks of the Cantabrian range, the expansive Meseta, and the most iconic aerial views of Sevilla city including the Cathedral and Giralda during the final approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
⛰️

Picos de Europa

Distant but majestic views of the limestone massifs of the Picos de Europa shortly after takeoff.

🏰

Castilian Meseta

The vast, high-altitude plateau of Castile and León, characterized by golden grain fields and medieval towns.

🏔️

Sierra de Gredos

A striking view of the central mountain system, often featuring snow-capped peaks well into the spring months.

⛪

Sevilla City Center

Depending on the wind direction, the final approach often yields a perfect view of the Cathedral, the Giralda, and the Plaza de España.

Sit on the left (seat A/B) for the best views of the sunlight hitting the Meseta in the afternoon. During the descent into SVQ, keep your camera ready for the 'Setas de Sevilla' and the historic center, which are typically visible on this side when landing from the north.

Right Side Highlights
7.9
🌊

Asturian Coastline

Dramatic views of the rugged green cliffs and hidden beaches of the Bay of Biscay immediately after departure.

🦅

Somiedo Natural Park

Fly over the wild, rugged terrain of western Asturias, home to some of Spain's last brown bears.

🏞️

Arribes del Duero

Deep canyons carved by the Duero River along the border between Spain and Portugal.

🌳

Sierra Morena

Dense Mediterranean forests and 'Dehesas' (oak pastures) that mark the transition into Andalusia.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It offers excellent views of the western mountain ranges and the 'Green Spain' landscape before transitioning into the drier Extremadura region. Watch for the large reservoirs (Embalses) along the border region.
