Search flights from SDR to TFS
Picos de Europa
Jagged limestone peaks of Northern Spain visible shortly after climbing out of Santander.
Portuguese Borderlands
Rugged river valleys and hills along the border between Spain and Portugal.
Costa de la Luz
The bright white sands and marshes of the Huelva coastline before heading over the ocean.
Mount Teide
The centerpiece of the flight: Spain's highest peak dominates the view during the descent.
La Gomera
The circular island of La Gomera often appears in the distance during the final turn to land.
The right side is essential for seeing Mount Teide. Aim for a seat in front of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the volcano during the descent. In the winter, the snow-capped Picos de Europa at the start of the trip are a must-see.
