What does the Sevilla to Barcelona flight path pass over?
The flight path crosses central Spain at cruise altitude (around 25,000-30,000 feet), passing over the La Mancha plateau and its characteristic flat, arid terrain with sparse vegetation. The Tagus River valley may be visible as a green corridor cutting through the tan landscape. As the aircraft approaches Catalonia, the terrain gradually becomes more varied with the pre-Pyrenean foothills becoming visible on the horizon. The transition from Andalusian olive country to Castilian plains to Catalan hills represents the major geographical shift of the journey.
