Mount Teide
Spain's highest peak on the neighboring island of Tenerife, often seen rising above the cloud layer.
Doñana National Park
A vast mosaic of marshes, dunes, and lagoons at the mouth of the Guadalquivir River.
Seville Cityscape
The capital of Andalusia, where you can often spot the Giralda and the Olympic Stadium from altitude.
Sierra Morena
The dark, rugged mountain range that acts as a natural border between Andalusia and the central plateau.
Castile-La Mancha
The legendary 'land of giants' featuring geometric crop patterns and vast, sun-drenched plains.
Choose the right side for the iconic 'Teide view' just minutes after departure from SPC. As you cross into the mainland, the lighting on the right side is generally better for photography of the Andalusian interior. Keep an eye out for the metallic glint of Seville's monuments approximately 45-60 minutes into the flight.

Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue North Atlantic during the initial climb out of the Canary Islands.
Costa de la Luz
The transition from ocean to the golden beaches of Huelva as the flight reaches mainland Spain.
Extremadura Dehesas
Expansive views of the unique holm oak and cork oak landscapes characteristic of western Spain.
Tajo River Basin
Glimpses of the winding Tajo river and various large reservoirs as the aircraft nears the center of the peninsula.
Sit on the left if you prefer looking out over the vast ocean and watching the rugged western coastline of Spain emerge. It is particularly scenic during the late afternoon when the sun is on the opposite side, providing clear, glare-free views of the Extremaduran landscapes.
