Which side of the plane to sit from Sevilla Airport (Sevilla) to Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the Mediterranean coastline, the unique geography of the Ebro Delta, and the turquoise waters of the Balearic Sea during the descent.
Mediterranean Horizon
The vast blue expanse of the Balearic Sea as the aircraft nears the eastern coast.
Ebro Delta
The striking, bird-head-shaped wetland at the mouth of the Ebro River, one of Spain's most vital ecosystems.
Costa Dorada
The golden beaches and coastal towns like Tarragona and Salou visible during the descent.
Port of Barcelona
A grand view of the industrial harbor, cruise terminals, and the iconic W Hotel building near the beach.
The right side is premier for coastal scenery. For afternoon flights, the sun will be behind the plane, illuminating the coastline perfectly. Watch for the intricate grid patterns of the Ebro Delta's rice fields, which change color depending on the season.
Sierra Morena
The rugged mountain range separating Andalusia from the central Meseta plateau.
La Mancha Plains
The iconic high-altitude plains of central Spain, famous for windmills and vast agriculture.
Montserrat Massif
The distinctive, jagged multi-peaked mountain range located near the approach to Barcelona.
Barcelona Cityscape
A potential view of the Sagrada Família and Eixample grid if the approach path curves from the north.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare and to catch the dramatic silhouettes of Montserrat. This side is also better for spotting the Pyrenees in the distance on exceptionally clear days during the final leg of the journey.
