PMI β OVD
Which side of the plane to sit from Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca) to Asturias Airport (Aviles)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the UNESCO-listed Sierra de Tramuntana mountains upon departure and the breathtaking limestone massifs of the Picos de Europa during the descent into Asturias.
Sierra de Tramuntana
Unmatched views of Mallorca's northern mountain range and its rugged cliffs dropping into the sea.
Ebro Delta
The unique, bird-foot shaped delta where Spain's longest river meets the Mediterranean Sea.
Pyrenees Vista
On clear days, look north to see the distant, often snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees mountain range.
Picos de Europa
The flight's crown jewel: dramatic limestone peaks rising sharply just before the descent into Asturias.
Costa Verde
View the jagged coastline and hidden coves of the Cantabrian coast during the final approach into OVD.
Choose the right side for the most iconic landmarks. For the best views of the Picos de Europa, fly during the morning to avoid the sun's glare. During winter and spring, these mountains are heavily snow-covered, providing a spectacular contrast with the green coastline below.
Balearic Archipelago
Aerial views of the southern coast of Mallorca and distant glimpses of Ibiza as you head toward the mainland.
Valencia Cityscape
Spot the sprawling port of Valencia and the distinctive architecture of the City of Arts and Sciences.
Sistema IbΓ©rico
Crisscross the rugged, reddish terrain of the Iberian System mountain ranges in central Spain.
Castilian Meseta
Vast, geometric patterns of agricultural fields stretching across the high central plateau of Spain.
Cantabrian Sea Approach
During final descent, see the lush green valleys of Asturias meeting the deep blue of the Atlantic.
The left side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset colors reflecting off the Mediterranean. Keep an eye out for the transition from the arid brown tones of central Spain to the vibrant 'Green Spain' as you cross the mountain barrier near the end of the flight.
