Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife Norte Airport (Tenerife) to Sevilla Airport (Sevilla)?

Our Recommendation
8.4

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most dramatic views of Tenerife's rugged northern coastline and the Anaga mountains during departure, followed by a spectacular approach over the Doñana National Park and the Guadalquivir river mouth near Seville.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
⛰️

Anaga Rural Park

Immediately after takeoff from TFN, view the ancient, mist-shrouded laurel forests and sharp volcanic ridges of Tenerife's northernmost tip.

🦆

Doñana National Park

As the flight reaches the mainland, observe one of Europe's most important wetlands, featuring a mosaic of marshes, dunes, and lagoons.

🌊

Mouth of the Guadalquivir

See the massive sediment plumes where Andalusia's Great River meets the Atlantic Ocean at Sanlúcar de Barrameda.

⛪

Seville Skyline

On final approach, if landing from the southwest, the left side provides views of the Giralda tower and the massive Seville Cathedral.

For the best experience, book a morning flight to ensure the sun is on the opposite side of the aircraft, preventing glare. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to capture the intricate patterns of the Marismas (marshes) as you enter mainland Spanish airspace.

Right Side Highlights
7.6
🌋

Mount Teide

Depending on the departure path, Spain's highest peak is visible towering above the clouds to the southwest shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Gran Canaria

Look across the Atlantic channel to see the circular volcanic profile of the neighboring island during the initial climb.

⚓

Bay of Cádiz

During the descent, the historic port city of Cádiz and its modern bridges can be seen jutting out into the ocean to the south.

🌿

Andalusian Countryside

View the characteristic landscape of Southern Spain, dominated by vast, orderly rows of silver-green olive groves and traditional white farmsteads.

The right side is excellent for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the coastline of Cádiz and the rolling hills of the Guadalquivir valley. Watch for the 'Pueblos Blancos' (white villages) dotting the landscape during the final 10 minutes of flight.
