Romantic Hot Air Balloon Journeys with Globus Empordà in Girona

In the rolling landscapes of Girona’s Ampurdán region, Globus Empordà offers a uniquely intimate way to experience Catalonia’s northeastern coast from above. Launching from the peaceful village of Colomers, the Viaje en Globo Romántico Fin de Semana invites couples to drift between 500 and 1200 meters, where the views transform with the fresh air and open sky. Here, the patchwork of olive groves, vineyards, and medieval villages unfolds beneath you, framed by the striking blue of the Mediterranean. The Medas Islands—an ornithological reserve just offshore—appear as emerald jewels rising from the sea, while the rugged coastline of Cap de Creus marks the farthest eastern point of the Iberian Peninsula.

This isn’t just a balloon ride; it’s a slow-motion voyage through one of Spain’s diverse natural chapters. The geology of the area offers an intriguing backdrop: crystalline schist and granite cliffs tumble toward quiet coves, a contrast to the fertile plains below. The cultural heritage of the region adds depth—Ampurdán has been a crossroads since Roman times and inspired Salvador Dalí’s surreal landscapes.

Globus Empordà’s experience culminates in a traditional celebration post-landing with a sweet almond cake and locally produced cava, highlighting the warmth and hospitality intrinsic to this part of Spain. Accessibility and safety are paramount, making it a standout choice for travelers seeking a memorable, elevated perspective without demanding physical effort.

Whether you’re marking a special occasion or simply embracing the slow thrill of soaring skies, this weekend pairing of flight and festivity captures a rare essence of Girona’s outdoor allure. The combination of panoramic views, quiet seclusion, and authentic local touches makes Globus Empordà a key player in the region’s adventure offerings, perfect for anyone ready to see Spain’s coastal landscapes like never before.
