Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife) to Valencia Airport (Valencia)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of views, starting with the volcanic landscapes of the eastern Canary Islands, followed by the snow-capped Sierra Nevada and a scenic approach along the Mediterranean coast into Valencia.
Gran Canaria
A clear aerial perspective of the circular volcanic island and its central mountain range shortly after takeoff.
Sierra Nevada
The highest peaks in mainland Spain, often covered in snow, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding arid terrain.
Costa Blanca
Glimpses of the famous white beaches and turquoise waters near Alicante as the flight nears its destination.
Jรบcar River Canyons
Deep, winding river gorges carved through the limestone plateaus of eastern Spain.
L'Albufera Lagoon
The massive freshwater lagoon and rice paddies just south of Valencia, signaling the final approach.
This side is ideal for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Mediterranean. During the descent, look out for the Albufera Natural Park, as the flight path often curves right over the sea before turning back toward the runway.
Mount Teide
A majestic view of Spain's highest peak and its surrounding volcanic craters immediately after departure from Tenerife South.
Gulf of Cรกdiz
The point where the deep Atlantic blue meets the southwestern coastline of the Iberian Peninsula.
Seville Cityscape
Views of the winding Guadalquivir River and the historic architecture of Andalusia's capital from cruising altitude.
La Mancha Plains
The vast, geometric agricultural patterns and windmills of the iconic Don Quixote region in central Spain.
Sit forward of the wing for the best view of Mount Teide during the initial climb. On afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Spanish interior without glare.
