SVQ β BIO
Which side of the plane to sit from Sevilla Airport (Sevilla) to Bilbao Airport (Bilbao)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more dramatic view of the high peaks of the Sistema Central and Picos de Europa, along with the rugged Cantabrian coastline during the approach into Bilbao.
Sierra de Gredos
The highest peaks of the Sistema Central, often snow-capped during winter and spring.
Meseta Central
The vast, high-altitude plateau of central Spain, showing geometric patterns of wheat fields.
Picos de Europa
Jagged limestone peaks visible in the distance to the northwest as the plane nears the coast.
Cantabrian Coast
The dramatic meeting of the Atlantic Ocean and the rocky cliffs of Northern Spain.
Tierra de Campos
The 'breadbasket' of Spain, offering vibrant colors that change from green to gold with the seasons.
Book a window seat on the left for the best lighting during afternoon flights, as the sun will be behind you. This side is also superior if the flight circles over the Bay of Biscay before landing, providing a panoramic view of the coastline.
Sevilla Cityscape
A great view of the Guadalquivir River and the historic city center immediately after takeoff.
Sierra Morena
The rugged, forested mountains that separate Andalusia from the central plateau.
Madrid Skyline
On clear days, the 'Cuatro Torres' skyscrapers of Madrid are visible on the eastern horizon.
Ebro Valley
The fertile valley leading towards the Basque Country, dotted with vineyards and small villages.
Greater Bilbao
Views of the NerviΓ³n river and the industrial-meets-modern architecture of the city during descent.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sun rising over the Mediterranean hills to the east. Keep your camera ready during takeoff from SVQ to capture the La Cartuja monastery and the Olympic Stadium.
