BRS to the canaries/southern Spain is a fairly common route and a full 738 with 13t of fuel is pretty limited. Pretty much all Flap 25 takeoffs very close to TOPL and you’re right, there isn’t much runway available on rotation. Pulled that with a slightly late or slow rotation and it looks worse than it is.

Don’t forget that the slope on the departure end of 27 is quite significant, making for a worse visual picture than on a billiard table flat airfield.
