Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior perspective of Mount Teide upon departure from Tenerife, followed by iconic views of the Central System mountains and the famous Montserrat massif before capturing the full Barcelona skyline on final approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌋

Mount Teide

Dramatic views of Spain's highest peak and the volcanic craters of Tenerife shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Atlantic Horizon

Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic as the flight tracks north-east toward mainland Europe.

🏔️

Sistema Central

The snow-capped peaks of Sierra de Gredos and the rugged landscapes of central Spain.

⛰️

Montserrat

The unique, serrated rock formations of the holy mountain located just outside Barcelona.

🏙️

Barcelona Cityscape

A perfect view of the Eixample grid, Sagrada Família, and Agbar Tower during the final descent.

Book a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of Teide. For evening flights, this side catches the sunset glow over the Spanish interior. During the 'Llobregat' approach to BCN (Runway 24R), the city is almost always visible on the left.

Right Side Highlights
7.9
🏝️

Gran Canaria

Clear aerial views of the circular island of Gran Canaria and its distinct mountain ridges.

🌿

Doñana National Park

The vast wetlands and marshes of the Guadalquivir river mouth near Huelva and Seville.

❄️

Sierra Nevada

Distances views of the highest peaks in the Iberian Peninsula often covered in snow.

🏖️

Costa Dorada

The golden coastline of Tarragona and Sitges as the plane follows the Mediterranean shore.

⚓

Port of Barcelona

Industrial docks, cruise terminals, and the Montjuïc hill just before touchdown.

Ideal for those wanting to see the other Canary Islands (Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura) early in the flight. This side is less likely to have direct sun glare during morning flights heading northeast. Look for the Ebro Delta's distinctive shape as you approach Catalonia.
