Montserrat
The serrated, multi-peaked mountain range and famous monastery during the descent.
Barcelona Cityscape
The iconic Eixample grid, Sagrada Família, and Camp Nou as the plane aligns with BCN airport.
This is the premier side for the 'Barcelona arrival.' Most flights perform a U-turn over the Mediterranean to land facing north, placing the city and port directly out the right window. Aim for an afternoon flight to see the Pyrenees bathed in golden hour light.
