Dawn breaks over Segovia and the balloon inflates like a slow-breathing giant, color unfurling against a pale sky. You step into the basket as mist lifts from the fields and the wind tugs your flight path toward the town’s stone heart. From 500–1,000 meters the Roman aqueduct narrows to a straight line, the Alcázar a miniature fortress, and the roofs of terracotta and slate arrange themselves into clear geometric patterns.
