Madrid Periphery
On many flight paths, you can spot the sprawling metropolitan area of Madrid and its surrounding sierras.
Costa del Sol
Breathtaking views of the Mediterranean coastline and Malaga city during the descent into AGP airport.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind or above the plane. During the landing phase at Malaga (usually Runway 31), this side provides an unbeatable view of the Mediterranean Sea and the city center. Keep your camera ready for the transition from the mountains to the sea.

The Pyrenees
Majestic views of the high peaks as you cross the natural border between France and Spain.
Spanish Meseta
The vast, arid landscapes of central Spain featuring unique geological patterns and rural villages.
Sierra Nevada
