Yesterday I spent the day spotting at Barcelona's El-Prat airport. This was the third time I have spotted at the airport and each time it seems like there is another feature added to the perimeter of the airport that benefits aviation spotters. There is a lovely bike/walking path that leads around the Northern perimeter of the airport and goes to the El-Prat beach. Along the pathway there is a park directly underneath the approach lights, complete with lounge chairs. The airport authority, AENA, has even built a metal spotting tower next to the threshold to runway 25R and gives a great view of the apron.
Unfortunately yesterday was not as eventful as my spotting trip two July's ago as I only photographed one Russian built aircraft, as opposed to the 12 I shot last time. If you ever have the opportunity to visit Barcelona, which is an incredible city, I would highly recommend visiting the airport.
