SVQLIS

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior urban and geographic panorama, featuring an excellent view of Seville's historic center upon takeoff and the sprawling Tagus estuary with Lisbon's iconic bridges during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏰

Seville Skyline

A stunning view of the Giralda, the Cathedral, and the Plaza de España immediately following departure from SVQ.

🌾

Alentejo Plains

Fly over the rolling landscape of cork oak forests, olive groves, and traditional white-washed Portuguese farmsteads.

🌉

Vasco da Gama Bridge

See one of Europe's longest bridges spanning the wide Tagus estuary as the plane aligns for Lisbon.

🏙️

Lisbon Urban Core

A breathtaking view of the dense red-roofed districts of Alfama and Baixa if the plane approaches from the south.

⛵

Tagus Estuary (Mar da Palha)

The massive inland sea-like bay that forms the natural harbor for the city of Lisbon.

The right side is the 'photographer's side' for this route. Afternoon flights are spectacular as the sun illuminates the white and pastel buildings of Lisbon. Ensure you are ready for photos during the last 10 minutes of the flight for the best views of the Tagus bridges.

Left Side Highlights
7.3
🦢

Doñana National Park

View the vast marshlands and biodiversity of one of Europe's most important wetland reserves shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Gulf of Cádiz

The deep blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean where the Guadalquivir River meets the sea.

🏖️

Costa de la Luz

The golden sandy beaches stretching from Huelva towards the Portuguese border at the Guadiana River.

⚓

Algarve Eastern Coast

The transition from Spanish sands to the rugged, cliff-lined coast of southern Portugal.

🏄

Costa da Caparica

The long, continuous stretch of Atlantic beaches just south of the Tagus River mouth before landing.

The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare from the sea. It offers a great perspective of the transition between the Spanish and Portuguese coastlines. Watch for the unique patterns of the salt marshes near Huelva.
