Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the rugged inland sierras of Aragon and Valencia, followed by the iconic approach into Palma, featuring the historic city center and the cathedral.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏞️

Ebro River Valley

Watch the winding green ribbon of the Ebro River cutting through the arid landscape of Aragon.

⛰️

Maestrazgo Massif

The dramatic and rugged limestone plateaus of the Iberian System stretching toward the coast.

🏰

Peñíscola Castle

The iconic 'City in the Sea' with its historic castle perched on a rocky headland near Castellón.

⛵

Bay of Palma

A sweeping view of the turquoise waters and the harbor filled with yachts during the descent.

⛪

Palma Cathedral

The magnificent 'La Seu' Gothic cathedral standing prominently on the waterfront during final approach.

The right side is essential for the approach into Palma de Mallorca (PMI). Most flights land from the sea, meaning you will see the cathedral and the entire city skyline. For the best lighting, choose late afternoon flights when the sun illuminates the limestone buildings of Palma.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Zaragoza City

A sprawling view of the city and the Basilica del Pilar immediately after takeoff from ZAZ.

🌊

Ebro Delta

The unique bird-foot shape of the Ebro River mouth as it meets the Mediterranean Sea.

🏖️

Costa Dorada

A distant view of the golden beaches stretching toward Tarragona and the Catalan coast.

⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

The rugged northern mountain range of Mallorca visible as the aircraft crosses the coastline.

⛴️

Balearic Sea

Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean with white wakes from ferries heading to the mainland.

Sit on the left if you want to see the Ebro Delta clearly during the transition from land to sea. Morning flights provide excellent lighting for the coastline, while evening flights may suffer from some glare off the water.
