Sierra de la Demanda
Dense pine forests and the San Lorenzo peak visible shortly after departure.
Picos de Urbión
Rugged mountain range known for its glacial features and the source of the Duero River.
Castilian Plateaus
High plains offering a patchwork of vineyards and cereal fields typical of the Meseta.
Sierra de Guadarrama
Magnificent views of the granite peaks of the Central System as the plane enters the Madrid region.
Madrid Skyline
On many landing patterns, the Four Towers Business Area and the city's urban density are visible to the west.
The right side is ideal for mountain enthusiasts. During winter, the snow-covered peaks of Guadarrama are a highlight. For the best photos of the Madrid skyline, aim for an afternoon flight when the city is illuminated by the setting sun.

Vibrant green banks and meandering curves of the river immediately after takeoff from Logroño.

The highest point of the Iberian System, visible as a solitary snow-capped giant to the east.
Soria Plateaus
Expansive high-altitude agricultural fields that change colors dramatically between seasons.
Guadalajara
