Running in Heels.co.uk - Sail the Skies in Spain

Picture it. Languorously adrift in a hot air balloon, the arid plains of Spain beneath you. Slowly the sun rises and as the iridescent blanket of morning dew sparkles a slow retreat there’s just enough time to whisper a champagne toast to your lover. Sounds perfect, doesn’t it? Or almost at least.

While the experience sounds an exquisite escape for couples in search of something different, you will need to share airspace with the balloon’s pilot. We are, however, assured he’s very discreet and takes excellent photos so not all’s lost – this is definitely an experience you’ll want committed to film. And you’ll have plenty of quiet time to relive the moment later. The ride is part of a package offered by Spa in Spain, and also includes accommodation in the Catalonian Hotel Urbisol, romantic meals, use of the hotel’s Bliss spa and a room that’s been strewn with flowers, candles, champagne and strawberries.
