Which side of the plane to sit from Sevilla Airport (Sevilla) to A Coruña Airport (La Coruna)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior primarily for the stunning approach into A Coruña. As the aircraft descends over Galicia, you get a front-row seat to the dramatic Atlantic coastline, the Rias Altas, and the deep river canyons along the Portuguese-Spanish border.
Sierra de Aracena
Early in the flight, view the lush, green peaks of the northern Huelva province, a stark contrast to the Sevillian plains.
Dehesa Extremenya
Fly over the vast oak-dotted grasslands of Extremadura, famous for its unique agro-forestry ecosystem.
Arribes del Duero
Look for the dramatic deep canyons carved by the Duero River, which forms the natural border between Spain and Portugal.
Lago de Sanabria
Spot the largest glacial lake in the Iberian Peninsula nestled within the rugged mountains of Zamora.
Ría de A Coruña
On final approach, enjoy breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean meeting the rugged Galician cliffs and the Tower of Hercules.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare, which is ideal for photography. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, keep your camera ready for the 'Rias' (estuaries) as the plane aligns with the runway, often providing a panoramic view of the city and the ocean.
Sierra Morena
Observe the dense Mediterranean forests and rugged ridges immediately after taking off from Sevilla.
Salamanca & Zamora
Clear views of these historic cities and their cathedrals are often possible as the flight crosses the Meseta Central.
Montes de León
A series of impressive mountain ranges that separate the high plateau from the humid valleys of Galicia.
Sil River Valley
Spot the winding Sil river as it snakes through the Galician Massif towards the Miño.
Betanzos Estuary
Just before landing, view the historic town of Betanzos and its beautiful marshlands and estuary.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to catch the golden hour light hitting the Leonese mountains. Keep an eye out for the snow-capped peaks of the Picos de Europa in the far distance to the northeast if the visibility is high. For the approach, the right side offers a better view of the inland green valleys of Galicia.
