Search flights from SPC to LPA
Tajogaite Volcano
View of the 2021 eruption site and the hardened lava flows reaching the sea on the southern part of La Palma.
La Gomera
Clear views of the circular, lush green island of La Gomera sitting south of the flight path.
Mount Teide
A magnificent view of Spain's highest peak on Tenerife, often soaring above the cloud layer.
Maspalomas Dunes
On a southern approach to Gran Canaria, you may see the famous golden sand dunes at the southern tip.
The right side is the 'volcano side'. For the most dramatic view of Mount Teide, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the peak. Afternoon flights provide excellent golden hour lighting on the volcanic craters and cliffs.
