The Journey

This bustling square, a crossroads of the city's most famous streets, is more than just a meeting point; it's a cultural hub steeped in history. Admire the elegant fountains and sculptures, feel the energy of the city, and perhaps grab a bite at the Hard Rock Café before your ballooning adventure begins.

Catalan Cafeteria (near Vic)
Before ascending into the Catalan skies, immerse yourself in local culture at a traditional Catalan Cafeteria. Enjoy a refreshing orange juice, savor a quick snack, and soak in the atmosphere. More than just a pit stop, this charming spot offers a taste of authentic Catalan life, a moment to connect with the region's culinary heritage before your breathtaking aerial journey. This is the perfect spot to prepare for the adventure and maybe the last bathroom opportunity.
Vic and Catalonia Countryside (from the air)
Prepare to be captivated by the breathtaking aerial views of Vic and the Catalan countryside. From your hot air balloon, marvel at the medieval streets of Vic, dotted with traditional Catalan 'Masia' farmhouses. Gaze across the stunning landscapes of the Pyrenees, Montserrat, and, weather permitting, even Barcelona itself. This unique perspective offers an unparalleled glimpse into Catalonia's rich history and diverse natural beauty, making for an unforgettable and picturesque flight.
Montseny Natural Park (from the air)
Witness the majestic beauty of Montseny Natural Park from above, a verdant mountain range just 40 km from Barcelona. As you float through the sky, admire the park's highest peak, reaching 1700 meters. During the winter months, marvel at the snow-capped mountains, adding to the park's dramatic allure. This natural wonder offers a spectacular contrast to the urban landscape of Barcelona, offering a moment of tranquility and awe-inspiring beauty.

This vibrant area is a gateway to further exploration, offering a plethora of restaurants, shops, and cultural attractions.
