Search flights from VLC to PMI
L'Albufera Natural Park
The vast freshwater lagoon and rice paddies south of Valencia immediately after takeoff.
Pityusic Islands
On very clear days, the northern silhouettes of Ibiza and Formentera may appear on the southern horizon.
Palma Cathedral
The massive Gothic 'La Seu' cathedral standing prominently over the Mediterranean shoreline.
Bay of Palma
Panoramic views of the luxury yachts, Bellver Castle, and the turquoise waters of the bay.
This is the 'scenic side' for landing. For the best experience, try to book a flight arriving in the late afternoon; the low sun illuminates the Palma Cathedral in golden hues. Be sure to look out quickly as the aircraft turns to align with the runway, as the cathedral appears shortly before touchdown.

Valencia City Center
Aerial views of the northern districts and the City of Arts and Sciences upon departure.
Port of Valencia
A clear view of one of the Mediterranean's largest container ports and the Malvarrosa beach.
Serra de Tramuntana
The rugged, UNESCO-listed mountain range stretching along Mallorca's northwest coast during the descent.
Dragonera Island
Small uninhabited islet off the west coast of Mallorca often visible during the approach.
Choose the left side for morning flights to minimize sun glare while viewing the Spanish coast. It is particularly rewarding if the flight path takes a northern approach over the Tramuntana mountains, offering dramatic views of limestone peaks meeting the sea.
