RBA → GRO
Which side of the plane to sit from Rabat-Salé Airport (Rabat) to Girona Airport (Gerona)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the Spanish Mediterranean coastline, including the city of Barcelona, the Ebro Delta, and the unique Montserrat mountain range during the descent into Girona.
Rabat Coastline
Panoramic views of the Bou Regreg river and the Atlantic coast immediately after takeoff from RBA.
The Strait of Gibraltar
A view across the narrow gap between Africa and Europe with the Atlantic Ocean to the west.
Sierra Nevada
Distance views of mainland Spain's highest peaks, often snow-capped even in spring.
Ebro Delta
The distinctive 'beak' shape of the Ebro river delta jutting into the Mediterranean Sea.
Barcelona Skyline
A stunning aerial view of the Sagrada Família, the grid layout of Eixample, and the Olympic Port.
Montserrat
The jagged, multi-peaked sawtooth mountain range that is a sacred site in Catalonia.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the left side (A seats). During the final 20 minutes of the flight, stay alert for Barcelona's urban sprawl. Mid-afternoon flights provide the best lighting for photography of the Catalan coast without the glare from the sea.
Rif Mountains
The rugged, green mountain terrain of northern Morocco as you head toward the Mediterranean.
Rock of Gibraltar
A clear view of the iconic monolithic limestone promontory as you cross the strait.
Costa del Sol
Bird's-eye view of the dense resort towns and sandy beaches along the southern Spanish coast.
Balearic Islands
On clear days, the distant silhouettes of Ibiza and Mallorca can be seen over the Mediterranean horizon.
Costa Brava
The 'Rugged Coast' featuring rocky cliffs and hidden coves as the plane turns for its final approach.
The right side (F seats) is ideal for spotting the Rock of Gibraltar shortly after crossing from Morocco. If the flight path takes a more seaward route, look out for the shimmering reflection of the sun on the Mediterranean and the distant Balearic Islands.
