Which side of the plane to sit from Logroño-Agoncillo Airport (Logroño-Agoncillo) to Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (Madrid)?
Right Side of the Plane
Offers stunning views of the Sierra de la Demanda and the dramatic peaks of the Sierra de Guadarrama during the descent into Madrid.
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.
Ebro River
Vibrant green banks and meandering curves of the river immediately after takeoff from Logroño.
Moncayo Massif
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
The dense urban layouts of Guadalajara and the surrounding Henares corridor appear before landing.
Jarama River
Follows the final approach path into Madrid, bordering the airport grounds.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the direct sun. Look for the Moncayo peak early in the flight; it is the most prominent landmark to the east. The descent provides clear views of the logistics hubs in the Corridor of Henares.
