Continuous views of the azure Balearic Sea and the golden beaches of the Costa Blanca and Costa Dorada.
Sierra Nevada
Distant but visible views of mainland Spain's highest peaks, often capped with snow during winter and spring.
Delta de l'Ebre
The unique bird-foot shaped wetland where the Ebro River meets the Mediterranean Sea.
Barcelona Cityscape
Stunning views of the Olympic Port, the W Hotel, and the Eixample grid during final approach.
The right side is generally the scenic winner for this route. Sit behind the wing for the best view of the coastline. For the most iconic view of Barcelona city and the Sagrada Familia, the right side is preferred when the flight approaches from the south or performs a sea-based landing pattern.
