Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the stunning departure from the Bay of Palma followed by a dramatic approach to Granada with unparalleled views of the Sierra Nevada's snow-capped peaks.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Bay of Palma

A breathtaking view of the turquoise waters and the Gothic Cathedral of Santa Maria during the initial climb.

⚓

Cartagena Harbor

Strategic naval port on the Spanish mainland with visible Roman ruins and historic fortifications.

🏜️

Cabo de Gata-Níjar

Dramatic volcanic cliffs and isolated beaches where the desert landscape meets the Alboran Sea.

🏔️

Sierra Nevada Range

The star attraction featuring Mulhacén, the highest peak in mainland Spain, often covered in snow until early summer.

🏰

The Alhambra

A potential aerial glimpse of the legendary Moorish fortress complex perched on the hills overlooking Granada.

Book a window seat on the Port (left) side. For the best photography of the Sierra Nevada, choose an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the western slopes. During winter and spring, the contrast between the white peaks and the green valleys is most striking. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

A rugged UNESCO World Heritage mountain range stretching along Mallorca's northwest coast.

🏝️

Ibiza and Formentera

Distant views of the Pityusic Islands visible across the Mediterranean on clear days.

🏙️

Costa Blanca Skyline

Views of the high-rise coastal developments of Benidorm and the city of Alicante.

🫒

Andalusian Olive Groves

The iconic 'Sea of Olives,' an endless pattern of trees carpeting the rolling hills of eastern Andalusia.

🌄

Sierra Arana

Impressive limestone mountain formations north of Granada during the final descent.

The Starboard (right) side is excellent for viewing the Tramuntana mountains shortly after takeoff. If you prefer avoiding direct sunlight during the flight (which usually heads Southwest), this side will be shaded during morning departures. It provides a great perspective of the agricultural geometry of the Andalusian interior.
