Which side of the plane to sit from Jerez Airport (Jerez) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic transitions from the Atlantic coastline to the rugged Sierra de Grazalema and the iconic clifftop views of the Pueblos Blancos.
Bay of Cádiz
The shimmering Atlantic coastline and the historic skyline of Cádiz city visible shortly after takeoff.
Arcos de la Frontera
One of the most spectacular Pueblos Blancos, perched precariously on a limestone ridge.
Sierra de Grazalema
A view into the heart of Spain's rainiest mountain range, featuring dense pinsapo fir forests.
Ronda Gorge
The iconic Tajo de Ronda, a deep ravine that splits the historic city in two, often visible from cruise altitude.
Costa del Sol
Panoramic views of Marbella and the Mediterranean coastline as the plane banks toward Málaga Airport.
Sit on the right for the most iconic Andalusian landmarks. Late afternoon flights are particularly beautiful as the sun hits the white-washed walls of the mountain villages. On the final approach to AGP, you will often get a clear view of the cargo ships and ferries entering the Alboran Sea.
Jerez Vineyards
The unique white 'albariza' soil of the famous sherry vineyards surrounding the departure city.
Sierra Sur de Sevilla
Distal views of the rolling hills and agricultural plains stretching toward the Guadalquivir valley.
Olvera Castle
A stunning view of the white village of Olvera, recognizable by its hilltop church and Moorish castle.
Montes de Málaga
Rugged, pine-covered ridges as the aircraft begins its final descent into the Málaga basin.
Keep your eyes peeled immediately after takeoff for the grid-like patterns of the sherry estates. Since the flight is extremely short, the aircraft rarely reaches high altitudes, providing excellent detail of the inland Andalusian cortijos (farmhouses). Early morning flights offer the best clarity before the midday haze develops over the valley.
