You lift off before dawn, the burner’s rhythm a steady heartbeat beneath an open sky. The fields slide away below and Catalonia opens—Montserrat’s serrated ridge at your left, Pedraforca’s double-peaked silhouette ahead, and the pale sweep of the Mediterranean glinting on the horizon. The balloon rides the morning currents; wind does the steering and the pilot reads the air like a map.
