balloons at the European Balloon Festival in Igualada, Anoia

A hot air balloon flight in the Anoia means flying over the Igualada area, the home of ballooning in Catalonia and host of the European Balloon Festival.

Here ballooning is part of the local culture: the plain, the nearby ranges and the city of Igualada itself make up a setting full of character for the experience.

The Anoia is ballooning country par excellence. Every summer the sky over Igualada fills with dozens of balloons during the European Balloon Festival, an event of international standing. Flying around these dates has a special charm.

But all year round the county offers an ideal landscape: open fields, quiet villages and unbeatable morning light.

A flight with history

From the basket you take in a landscape of fields and villages with the calm that is so typical of ballooning. Igualada has a long aeronautical tradition that shows on every flight.

When to fly

Flights take place early in the morning. If you want to experience the festival atmosphere, book well in advance for the July dates, as they are the most in demand of the year.
