The view from the departures lounge.

Check in if you're flying from Barcelona. Then, head to terminal A and up the escalators to the shopping area. There are a few eateries parallel to the big windows which offer a great view of most of the airfield. Plus, as you're already so close to the gates, aircraft taxi right up to the windows after landing.
