Depart from your centrally located Madrid hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan and admire the spectacular scenery on the short drive to Villanueva de la Cañada. Feel your excitement heighten as you catch a glimpse of your brightly colored hot-air balloon preparing to take to the skies then listen as your pilot delivers a comprehensive safety briefing.
Hear the roar of the gas flame and gasp as the balloon begins to inflate, then climb into the balloon’s sturdy basket and ascend to your vertiginous vantage point. Capture birds-eye views of the gorgeous Guadarrama Regional Park as you soar over undulating mountain plains and dense oak forests; allow your pilot to direct your attention to impressive monuments like the Castle of Mocha as you listen to tales of legend and history.
After an hour of exhilarating elevation, descend to the ground smoothly and venture to an eatery to enjoy your lavish brunch of Spanish specialties. Feast upon a freshly prepared, seasonal meal featuring succulent chorizo and cured cheeses then peruse your souvenir photos while sipping a chilled glass of cava.
Bid farewell to your guide and your group then travel back to your Madrid hotel or Villanueva depending on which option you selected.
