VLCSVQ

Which side of the plane to sit from Valencia Airport (Valencia) to Sevilla Airport (Sevilla)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides spectacular views of the Albufera wetlands immediately after takeoff and follows the dramatic mountain ranges of southern Spain, including the massive Sierra de Cazorla, ending with a likely view of Seville's historic center.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🦆

Albufera Natural Park

A stunning freshwater lagoon and estuary right next to the Mediterranean, famous for its rice paddies.

🏔️

Sierra de Cazorla

The largest protected area in Spain, featuring jagged limestone peaks and dense pine forests.

🫒

The Olive Sea

Infinite rows of olive trees stretching across the rolling hills of Jaén and eastern Andalusia.

🏰

Seville Historic District

Clear views of the Cathedral, the Giralda tower, and the winding Guadalquivir River during the final approach.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Albufera wetlands shortly after departure from VLC. During midday flights, this side will be sunnier, so keep the shade partially down to reduce glare. As you approach Seville, watch for the transition from dry plateau to the lush, green Guadalquivir valley.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏟️

City of Arts and Sciences

Valencia's iconic futuristic architectural complex designed by Santiago Calatrava, visible during initial climb.

🌬️

La Mancha Windmills

The high plains of the Meseta, where you can occasionally spot the white windmills made famous by Don Quixote.

🪵

Sierra Morena

A rugged mountain chain that serves as a natural border between the central plateau and Andalusia.

🏘️

Carmona

A historic, walled hilltop town that stands out prominently just before the plane enters the Seville terminal area.

Choose the right side for the best view of Valencia's modern skyline during takeoff. On afternoon flights, this side is shaded and offers excellent lighting for photography of the Sierra Morena mountains. Watch for the stark contrast between the red earth of the plateau and the white villages of the foothills.
