Description

Segovia, a UNESCO World Heritage City since 1985, is, according to experts, one of the top destinations in the world for hot-air ballooning. The city rests on a large crag at an altitude of over a thousand metres, between the valleys of the rivers Eresma and Clamores. All this, together with the proximity to the Sierra del Guadarrama, makes the atmospheric conditions for hot air ballooning over the city particularly unique. These special conditions for balloon flights, together with the spectacular monuments, its magical light and its surroundings, of a prodigious natural wealth, make enjoying Segovia from the heights always a memorable experience. This balloon trip over Segovia is to fly over the origins of our history, and enjoy it from the air. It is to travel to the origins of aviation, but with all the technical advances of today. It is to return to the dreams of our childhood. For all these reasons, this trip is about floating over the History of Spain. Because it is about flying over the Alcázar where Isabella the Catholic slept before her proclamation. It is also about flying over its gothic style Cathedral built in the 16th century. It is also about flying over the Mujer Muerta (Dead Woman) in the Sierra del Guadarrama. In other words, you will travel to all these marvellous sites at speeds of 4 or 5 km/h, practically the same speed as a walk on foot; in this case, from a unique point of view: from the air!
