BIO

When landing at Bilbao (BIO), sit on the Left side for the best views. On the runway 30 approach, the aircraft tracks in from the southeast, and the left side offers views of Bilbao's city center and the Nervión estuary tucked into the valley below before the plane banks toward the airport. The right side mostly shows the green Basque hillsides that hem in the valley, which are pretty but less distinctive. Notable sights include: Bilbao city center and skyline, Nervión River estuary, surrounding Basque green hills (Artxanda/Pagasarri ridges), occasional glimpse of the Bay of Biscay coastline to the north.
