Detailed itinerary
1
We will drive you by minivan about 35 minutes outside of the city to the launch field. Before you know it, you’re soaring into the air, floating gently on the wind currents as you experience fantastic vistas of the Pyrenees, Montserrat, the Mediterranean sea, the massifs of Montseny and, depending on visibility, even Barcelona itself. Then come back to earth for a sparkling wine toast and a generous and typical Catalonian brunch including most of the local specialities, during which you’ll receive your flight certificate.
