Which side of the plane to sit from Sevilla Airport (Sevilla) to Asturias Airport (Aviles)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic transition from the southern plains to the rugged Cantabrian Mountains, providing clear sights of central Spanish cities and the deep blue Bay of Biscay upon arrival.
Sevilla City Center
A bird's-eye view of the Giralda, the Cathedral, and the winding Guadalquivir River shortly after takeoff.
Roman Mérida
The historic layout of one of Spain's most significant Roman archaeological sites visible from high altitude.
City of León
The distinct urban grid and Gothic cathedral of the ancient capital as you approach the northern mountains.
Cordillera Cantábrica
The breathtaking limestone peaks and deep valleys that separate the central plateau from the northern coast.
Gijón and Cabo de Peñas
Views of the largest Asturian city and the northernmost tip of the region as the plane turns for its final descent.
The right side is the prime spot for mountain enthusiasts. As you cross the Cantabrian range, the contrast between the dry Meseta and 'Green Spain' is stark. On late afternoon flights, the setting sun illuminates the northern cliffs and the Bay of Biscay beautifully.
Sierra Norte de Sevilla
Lush Mediterranean forests and rolling hills immediately north of the departure city.
Extremadura Dehesas
Unique landscapes of holm oak pastures and traditional agricultural terrain stretching toward the Portuguese border.
Sierra de Gata
The westernmost peaks of the Central System, marking the boundary between Extremadura and Castile.
Western Asturian Coast
The dramatic, green cliffside coves and fishing villages near Cudillero during the final approach.
Choose the left side for better views of the vast Extremadura plains and a glimpse of the Atlantic influence on the western Asturian landscape. Morning flights provide excellent backlighting for the western mountain ridges.
