UNMATCHED VIEWS FROM THE GLOBE! - By writing this opinion I relive the sensations again!!!! I didn't know the area and I was very pleasantly surprised. Being able to see it from the balloon was an incredible experience. Spectacular views of Las Hoces from a sky adorned by beautiful clouds. The team was very professional and friendly at the same time, attentive to us at all times, involved in ensuring that we enjoyed the experience. Wishing to repeat again. 100% recommendable.
