The experience
The flight departs at dawn, when the air is calmest and the light is clearest over the Catalan landscape. You'll rise in one of only seven gastronomic baskets in the world: each fitted with four ergonomic seats and designed specifically for this experience. As you drift over the terrain below, a full Spanish menu featuring high-quality local produce unfolds course by course, paired with carefully selected wines that complement each dish.
The meal is the centerpiece: you eat while airborne, tasting the region's flavors from above. Dessert and a glass of cava arrive once you've landed, turning the end of the flight into a formal toast. The whole outing (from pickup at your hotel through landing and the final glass) takes three hours. A live guide in your chosen language (English, Spanish or French) is with the group throughout.
This is a shared flight, so you'll be in the basket with other passengers, all seated in the same four-person compartment. The experience suits anyone who wants the sensation of ballooning without the usual balloon-ride simplicity, and who values a meal as much as the view.
