'''Spotting:''' A good spotting spot can be found at the eastern end of runway 12/30, near a Repsol petrol station. There is a pedestrian bridge spanning the motorway which is located along the final approach path. The best time to take pictures is in the morning. A second spot is near the golf course in the north-west end, good for taking pictures of aircraft just before touchdown, especially in the morning or late afternoon. From the terminal, there is a good overview of the apron and the runway from the cafeteria on the third floor. | '''Spotting:''' A good spotting spot can be found at the eastern end of runway 12/30, near a Repsol petrol station.
