You step onto the soft scrub at dawn as crews unfurl a balloon the size of a small house; fabric breathes, propane hisses, and the valley wakes beneath you. The basket lifts silently and Segovia recedes into a patchwork of stone roofs, the Roman aqueduct stretching like a bold line across the plain, while El Alcázar perches on its rocky finger.
