Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Atlantic coastline shortly after departure, the dramatic landscapes of the Arribes del Duero, and the stunning turquoise waters of the Mediterranean coast upon approach into Málaga.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Rias Baixas

Possible distant views of the stunning Galician fjords and the rugged Atlantic coastline shortly after takeoff.

🏞️

Arribes del Duero

The deep canyons and river valleys marking the border between Spain and Portugal.

⛰️

Sierra de las Nieves

Majestic limestone peaks and biosphere reserve landscapes visible during the descent into the south.

🏖️

Costa del Sol

Breathtaking views of the beaches stretching from Fuengirola toward Málaga as the plane turns for its final approach.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the best shots of the Mediterranean coastline. During winter months, look for snow caps on the distant mountains.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌾

Castilian Meseta

Expansive views of the high plateau's golden wheat fields and agricultural patterns in central Spain.

⛰️

Sierra Morena

The rugged, dark mountain range that serves as the natural gateway between central Spain and Andalusia.

🏙️

Málaga City & Port

A clear view of the urban sprawl, the historic center, and the bustling Mediterranean port during the final descent.

Choose this side for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Mediterranean. It is also the better side for viewing the dense urban layout of Málaga and the Alcazaba fortress if the aircraft approaches from the north.
