Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side of the aircraft offers a spectacular panorama of the Pyrenees mountain range to the north and the iconic jagged peaks of Montserrat during the descent into Barcelona.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
๐Ÿ”๏ธ

The Pyrenees

Expansive views of the snow-capped high peaks marking the border between Spain and France to the north.

๐Ÿ’ง

Ebro River Valley

The winding path of Spain's most voluminous river carving through the northern plains.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Montserrat Massif

The world-famous multi-peaked mountain range and monastery visible shortly before landing.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Barcelona Skyline

A clear view of the city's grid layout, the Sagrada Familia, and Tibidabo hill on northern approach tracks.

Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfectly lit views of the Pyrenees. Watch for the dramatic limestone formations of Montserrat about 15 minutes before touchdown.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
๐Ÿœ๏ธ

Monegros Desert

The unique, arid, and moon-like landscape of the Aragon region's steppe.

๐Ÿ—ป

Moncayo Massif

The highest point of the Sistema Ibรฉrico system visible to the south of the flight path.

๐ŸŒŠ

Mediterranean Coastline

The shimmering blue waters of the Balearic Sea appearing as the plane turns for its final approach.

๐Ÿšข

Port of Barcelona

Views of massive cruise ships and cargo terminals if the aircraft arrives from the south over the sea.

The right side is excellent for sunset flights as the light reflects off the Mediterranean. If the airport is using 'Configuration West' for landing, you will get a great view of the coast and the Llobregat Delta. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the brown plains of Aragon to the green Catalan hills.
