Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point for witnessing the dramatic volcanic terrain of Tenerife on departure and the iconic Barcelona city grid during arrival.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🌋

Mount Teide

Spain's highest peak is visible shortly after takeoff, especially if departing toward the west or north.

🏔️

Central System Mountains

The rugged peaks of Sierra de Gredos and Guadarrama provide a snowy contrast during winter flights across the peninsula.

⛰️

Montserrat

The famous jagged mountain range and monastery appear as a landmark about 15 minutes before landing.

🏙️

Barcelona Skyline

Spectacular views of the Sagrada Família and the perfectly symmetrical Eixample district on the final approach.

🎡

Tibidabo Hill

The church and amusement park atop the ridge overlooking Barcelona are clearly visible on the descent.

Sit on the left for the best chance to see the city landmarks during the standard approach to Runway 25L. For afternoon flights, this side captures the sunset over the Atlantic and mainland Spain. Keep your camera ready as soon as the landing gear drops for the best city shots.

Right Side Highlights
7.6
🏝️

Canary Archipelago

Offers distant views of Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura as the plane heads northeast over the Atlantic.

🌿

Doñana National Park

The vast wetlands and marshes of Andalusia are visible as the flight crosses the coastline near Huelva.

⛪

Seville

The historic Andalusian capital and the Guadalquivir River can often be spotted from high altitude.

🚤

Ebro Delta

The unique bird-head shape of the Ebro River mouth is a distinct landmark on the approach from the south.

🏖️

Costa Dorada

Beautiful views of the golden Mediterranean coastline and the port of Tarragona during the final descent.

Choose the right side on morning flights to avoid the glare of the rising sun. This side is ideal for spotting the other Canary Islands early in the flight and provides a great view of the Mediterranean coastline and maritime traffic outside Barcelona’s port just before landing.
