European Balloon Festival

Brightly coloured, bulbous hot-air balloons from around the world fill the skies over Igualada for the European Balloon Festival. The event draws around 25,000 people, who come to the sleepy Catalonian town to see the balloons inflate then soar overhead.

The activities don't stop there - market stalls and the opportunity to try some local cuisine complete the programme.

When: 8 - 11 Jul 2010 (annual)
Where: Igualada
