Guide to Alicante Airport
Photography is also good at the airport with a dirt track running parallel with the runway for most of its distance and mounds to climb on and get a view above the fence at a number of points along the road.

Movements
A sample of the upcoming movements for Alicante.
We do not current have any movements for Alicante Airport.
Spot A - Southside Runway 28 End
Shooting to your left again you can usually get some nice shots of aircraft rotating as its in a great position for most departures. Some aircraft go that little bit further and you can get some side-on rotating pics.
Again your very close to the action here, so a 100mm lens on a digital SLR is too close for a full side on shot of a 737-800 or bigger, there is the oportunity again of some nice more head-on close-up shots for those with bigger lenses.
Sun position is good until the early afternoon for shooting to your left again, side-ons and any shots to your right can go on until the evening.

Spot B - Southside Runway 10 End
You are quite close here, 100mm on a digital SLR is too much for a 737-800 or bigger fully side on. With a bigger lens though you can get some nice - more head on like close-up shots of aircraft touching down.
Sun wise the area is good shooting arrivals to your left up until early afternoon when you start to look more towards the sun.
