Which side of the plane to sit from Sevilla Airport (Sevilla) to Almería International Airport (Almeria)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada, including Mulhacén, followed by the dramatic lunar landscapes of the Tabernas Desert before landing.
Sierra Nevada Peaks
Unparalleled views of Mulhacén and Veleta, the highest summits in mainland Spain, often covered in snow.
Guadix Badlands
Dramatic clay formations and 'troglodyte' cave house districts visible in the basins north of the mountains.
Tabernas Desert
Europe's only true desert, famous for its cinematic history and stark, eroded 'badlands' terrain.
Jaén Frontier
Vast olive groves stretching toward the horizon, punctuated by medieval watchtowers and hilltop fortresses.
Sit on the left for the most dramatic mountain photography. Aim for a morning flight when the sun illuminates the north-facing slopes of the Sierra Nevada. As you descend into Almería, look for the unique patterns of the Oasys MiniHollywood sets in the desert.
Mediterranean Horizon
The deep blue of the Alborán Sea, with the distant horizon sometimes revealing the Moroccan coastline.
Las Alpujarras
The famous white-washed villages of the southern Sierra Nevada slopes clinging to steep ravines.
Costa Tropical
Views of the Motril and Salobreña coastlines where the mountains meet the Mediterranean Sea.
The Sea of Plastic
The massive expanse of Almería's greenhouses, creating a striking reflective silver landscape from above.
Choose the right side if you prefer coastal vistas and the 'Sea of Plastic' phenomenon near El Ejido. Late afternoon flights offer a beautiful golden hour reflection off the Mediterranean and the white-washed villages of the Alpujarras.
