Breathtaking aerial views of Spain's largest protected natural area, characterized by deep canyons and high peaks.

Embalse del Tranco

A massive, turquoise-blue reservoir nestled deep within the Segura mountain ranges.

🏢

City of Arts and Sciences

Clear views of Santiago Calatrava’s futuristic architectural complex during the final approach into VLC.

The right side is unbeatable during the final 15 minutes of the flight. For the best photography, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the contrast between the blue Mediterranean and the green Albufera rice fields.

Sevilla Cityscape

Excellent views of the Giralda tower and the winding Guadalquivir River immediately after takeoff from SVQ.

⛰️
