Search flights from TFS to ALC
Gran Canaria
Breathtaking views of the neighboring island's volcanic peaks shortly after departure.
Strait of Gibraltar
The iconic maritime crossing point where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea.
Costa del Sol
The glittering coastline spanning from Marbella to Malaga, characterized by high-rise resorts and golden sand.
Sierra Nevada
Incredible views of the Mulhacén peak, which remains snow-capped for much of the year.
Torrevieja Pink Lakes
Vibrant, naturally pink salt lagoons that provide a stunning splash of color just before landing.
Costa Blanca
Deep blue Mediterranean waters and white limestone cliffs as the plane aligns with the runway.
Sit on the right for the most iconic landmarks. The Strait of Gibraltar is usually visible about midway through the flight. During the descent, look for the 'Laguna Rosa' near Torrevieja—its pink hue is most intense under the midday sun.

Mount Teide
Spain's highest peak is visible during the initial climb out of Tenerife South.
Doñana National Park
A vast expanse of marshes and dunes where the Guadalquivir river meets the Atlantic.
Seville Skyline
The historic Andalusian capital and its winding river can be seen further inland.
Sierra Morena
Dark green forested mountain ranges that separate Andalusia from the central plateau.
Vinalopó Vineyards

Choose this side if you want the best view of Mount Teide immediately after takeoff. For the best lighting on the Spanish mainland, an early morning flight is ideal as the sun will be behind you.
