La Cerdanya is one of the widest and sunniest valleys in the Pyrenees, and from a balloon basket you can take in almost all of it at once: the Segre river running along the floor of the valley, mountain villages of stone and slate, and a wall of peaks closing the horizon in every direction.
This is not a flight over farmland with mountains in the distance. Here you are inside the mountains, drifting between them in complete silence as the first sun hits the summits.
