Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the central Pyrenees' highest peaks, the iconic Montserrat mountain, and a classic approach view of Palma's historic cathedral.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Pyrenees High Peaks

Unobstructed views of the highest mountains in the range, including Aneto, often snow-capped.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Montserrat Massif

The jagged, serrated peaks of the Montserrat mountain range are a prominent landmark to the west of Barcelona.

๐Ÿข

Barcelona Skyline

Look for the Sagrada Famรญlia and the Agbar Tower visible in the distance as you fly south.

๐Ÿ›ณ๏ธ

Palma Harbor

Watch cruise ships and ferries docking in the bustling port area as the plane makes its final turn.

โ›ช

La Seu Cathedral

An iconic view of the Gothic cathedral standing right on the waterfront as you descend into PMI.

The right side is highly recommended for the descent. When landing on runways 24L or 24R (the most common configuration), you will get a perfect view of Palma's city center and the cathedral. Afternoon flights provide excellent 'golden hour' lighting for photos of the Pyrenees and the Mallorcan coastline.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Eastern Pyrenees

Cross the border into Spain with views of the easternmost mountain ridges and the Roussillon plain.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Costa Brava

Spectacular views of the rugged 'Wild Coast' and its turquoise coves north of Barcelona.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Barcelona Coastline

See the sprawling metropolitan area and the distinctive grid pattern of the Eixample district from the sea.

๐ŸŒŠ

Balearic Sea

A vast expanse of deep blue Mediterranean water during the short hop between the mainland and the island.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Bay of Alcudia

On many approach paths, you can see the northern bays of Mallorca and the Cap de Formentor.

Sit on the left if you want to see the coastline of Catalonia and the northern tip of Mallorca during descent. Morning flights offer the best lighting on this side, avoiding the afternoon glare from the southern sun over the sea.
