Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the high peaks of the Central System and a more dramatic aerial perspective of the Balearic archipelago, including Formentera and the iconic Es Vedrà rock during the descent.

Right Side Highlights

🏔️

Sierra de Guadarrama

Clear views of the snow-capped peaks of the Central System mountains north of Madrid.

🏰

Castilian Heartland

Ancient towns and historic landscapes of the Spanish interior with distinctive ochre soil patterns.

🌲

Serranía de Cuenca

Unique karst rock formations and dense pine forests of the Iberian System.

🏝️

Formentera

The stunning turquoise waters and white sand beaches of Ibiza's sister island during the southern approach.

🗿

Es Vedrà

The legendary, monolithic limestone rock formation rising 400 meters out of the sea near the southwestern coast.

This side is perfect for sunset flights as you track southeast. During landing, most patterns involve a turn that showcases the salt pans (Las Salinas) and the famous islet of Es Vedrà. Keep your camera ready in the last 15 minutes of the flight.
