Above the Empordà: a shared hot‑air balloon lift to 500–1,200 meters over Medes, the Ter and Cap de Creus.
Vuelo en globo compartido from Colomers trades the rush of a climb for slow, expansive perspective: baskets float between 500 and 1,200 meters, letting passengers scan the stitched coastline and river valleys of the Empordà. From that altitude the Medes Islands sit like outcrops in the Mediterranean, the Ter threads toward the sea, and the headland of Cap de Creus reads as a distant, rocky punctuation to the view.
