Your Itinerary
Albayzin
(Pass by)
From the Albaicin you can enjoy one of the best views of the Alhambra.
Sacromonte
(Pass by)
We usually take off from Sacromonte, in San Miguel Alto, to fly over it in the first few minutes of flight.
Alcaiceria
(Pass by)
Spectacular view of the Royal Chapel and the historic center when the wind currents take us in that direction. Keep in mind that a balloon moves in the direction of the wind, that is, it does not have a rudder. Consequently, it is better to enjoy the flight as an adventure, than to think that we will pass through a specific area, because maybe yes, or maybe not. Please keep this in mind.
Guadix
(Pass by)
Many days it is not possible to fly over Granada city and it is necessary to travel to the north of the province, to the Guadix area. Depending on the weather conditions (especially depending on the wind), we will enjoy areas such as the Geopark, the historic center of Guadix, or the Guadix and Tabernas desert. Especially between the months of May to October where due to the high temperatures of Granada city, it is especially difficult to fly over it.
