Hot air balloons soar at European Balloon Festival

The European Balloon Festival, held across four days in Igualada, Spain, is the largest gathering of hot-air balloons in the country and welcomes an average of 25,000 visitors each year. More than 50 balloons are displayed throughout the days — with some available for balloon rides — and there are competitive flights in the early morning and late afternoon when flying conditions are better.
