Tangier & Strait
Direct views of the Tangier coastline and the narrow gateway where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean.
Sierra Nevada
Spectacular sight of mainland Spain's highest peaks, often snow-capped even into early summer.
Costa del Sol
Clear aerial views of the dense urban stretches of Marbella and Málaga against the turquoise sea.
Valencia & Albufera
A beautiful view of the City of Arts and Sciences and the large freshwater lagoon to the south.
Montserrat Massif
Distinctive jagged mountain peaks visible during the descent into Barcelona's airspace.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side provides the best perspective of the Sierra Nevada mountains during mid-flight. For landing, if the aircraft approaches BCN from the south over land, you will get an excellent view of the city's grid layout and Tibidabo hill.

The Rock of Gibraltar
An iconic view of the limestone monolith and the airport runway that crosses the border.
Alboran Sea
Vibrant deep blue waters often dotted with large cargo ships transiting the strait.
