We meet at sunrise only when the weather forecast is promising. Upon arrival at takeoff field, we release a small helium balloon to check the direction of the wind. This information will be very useful during the flight to fly at the most convenient height depending on the direction of the wind.

The balloon inflation is quite spectacular, with help of fans the envelope is increasing volume until we can introduce the flame of the burners and lift the balloon. Once standing, the passengers board the basket where they are given a safety briefing and before take off. Usually we fly between 0 and 1000 meters depending on the direction of the different wind and the speed at different heights.

The balloon does not move or sway until it returns to mother earth for landing, at which time the passengers are placed in the landing position that we have previously rehearsed before taking off and right there we make a champagne toast to celebrate the adventure.

The first moments of flight are very special, with a mixture of fear and excitement that disappears after a few minutes of being in the air, now it’s time to enjoy the landscapes and take photos and videos of the experience.

Located between the Eresma and Clamores valleys, the city is home to the culture and art of each civilization that has passed through it, the Aqueduct (50 AD), one of the most significant and best preserved monuments left by the Romans, the Alcázar, whose construction began in the 11th century, the 16th century Gothic Cathedral, the Church of San Justo, the Jewish quarter…

Seen from the air the city invites you to visit it through its streets and enjoy its renowned gastronomy (roasted suckling pig, beans from La Granja…)

Segovia is undoubtedly the best place to fly in a balloon in the center of Spain.
