Located just 40 minutes from Barcelona, this rural area provides early morning flights when wind conditions are stable and the morning light enhances the landscape's contours.

The Experience You begin by actively participating in assembling the balloon, feeling the texture of the fabric and smelling the burners, as the cool morning air fills the meadow. Then, the balloon rises silently and steadily, floating above fields and small villages, with Montserrat dominating the horizon. After landing, you share a toast with local cava and cured meats, savoring the authentic aromas and flavors of the region.
