Book a window seat on the left (A) for a morning flight to have the sun behind you. This side is superior for seeing the Rock of Gibraltar. Look out approximately 2 hours into the flight for the Spanish coast. In winter, the Pyrenees provide a spectacular white contrast against the green French countryside.
