Balloon Ride over Catalonia with optional Pick-up from Barcelona

Leave the hustle and bustle of Barcelona behind for an early-morning hot-air balloon adventure, just 30–45 minutes from the city. Floating at heights of up to 3,000 feet (900 meters), you will experience the ultimate sense of freedom and tranquility while taking in breathtaking views of Catalonia. After a spectacular 1 to 1.5-hour flight, celebrate your landing with a sumptuous Cava Champagne toast and a flight certificate signed by your pilot.
