Galician Highlands
Dense green forests and rolling hills characteristic of the humid Northwest.
Castilian Meseta
The vast, high-altitude plateau of central Spain featuring golden cereal fields and rustic villages.
Iberian System
Rugged mountain ranges and deep limestone canyons as the flight enters Aragon and Eastern Spain.
Valencia Cityscape
A clear view of the City of Arts and Sciences and the historic center during the landing pattern.
Mediterranean Coast
The sparkling blue horizon of the Balearic Sea as the aircraft aligns with the runway.
Sit on the left for the best views of the city during arrival. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the red-clay landscapes of Teruel and the white buildings of Valencia perfectly. Try to get a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze.
