Where to do a Pilot for a day experience in Barcelona?

Every year, hundreds of aviation specialists from around the world gather in Barcelona's capital city to share their expertise with anyone interested in receiving training in this area. However, it is not the only place where you can enjoy a special flight experience.

- Barcelona's capital: From the heliport at the Barcelona Marina, we lift off and fly over the entire city of Barcelona, giving us a bird's eye view of some of its most famous landmarks, like the Agbar Tower, the Sagrada Familia, and the Diagonal, until we arrive at the Camp Nou. To witness the most magnificent views of Barcelona, you can take this tour in a helicopter while flying at a lower altitude and at a slower speed. Depending on the monuments you want to see from the heights, you can take a flight over the city for anything between 6 and 35 minutes, and you can even travel as far as Montserrat.

- Sabadell: From the airport in this Barcelonean municipality, you can take advantage of the many flights and experiences. The most frequent starting point for this flying excursion is from here. You can enjoy a 10- or a 20-minute helicopter ride over the Vallès Occidental region, travelling from Ballaterra to Rubí while passing over Mola's rugged terrain and the Sant Llorenç natural park, in the company of a licenced pilot. The entire Costa Brava can be seen from above by helicopter, changing the scenery and allowing you to see the coves and beaches with clear water that make up this region and the villages of Tossa de Mar and El Maresme that you will pass by on the way. You can also fly a light aircraft, which will enable you to go at a higher speed and altitude. You can admire the Montserrat or Montseny regions, which will provide you with the best views of the city. These trips last longer than an hour.

- Ódena: In this location, you will find the aerodrome to take a light aircraft flight. The average duration of the flight is between 20 minutes and an hour. This aircraft journey will take you through some of the best neighbouring Catalan towns, such as Igualada or Vilanova del Cam, in the best possible manner and without any interruptions or traffic. If you would like, this aerodrome is also set up for a 30- to 60-minute baptism during which you can experience flying a light aircraft for the first time and make contact with the aerial world. Do you dare?

- Moià: You can take a two-seater light aircraft flight from the airfield in this municipality of Barcelona, one of which is designated for the professional pilot and the other for you. The pilot will give you a briefing before you assume the controls of the aircraft so you can do it safely. The adventure starts once you've been given the necessary instructions. For 20 or 30 minutes, you can enjoy the well-known castle tour, which will take you to places like Castell de la Popa, the Castle of Sant Martí de Centelles, Castellcir, and the Castle of Tona before you arrive at your final destination, Castellterçol. Witness the grandeur of the mediaeval era of these buildings throughout the flight and discover a little bit about their history. If you want a longer experience, you can take a flight over Barcelona's northern region for more than an hour and a half.

- Montmeló: From this village in Barcelona, you can take a 10 to 20-minute helicopter ride to obtain the best possible aerial view over the entire northern region of Catalonia's capital city. Additionally, you will have the chance to combine a helicopter flight with a Ferrari reconnaissance lap at the Montmeló track at this location. You can get an adrenaline rush from this experience while still having a fun, action-packed day! Isn’t this a great 2 for 1 deal?

- Sierra Litoral: From Barcelona, you can take a helicopter flight over this gorgeous backdrop. The experience will begin with a flight over the Sierra del Litoral, but that's not all. Thanks to the aircraft's speed, we will also approach other parts of the province of Barcelona to view famous sites. Spot the 11th-century Burriac Castle, Argentona, the Maresme region, and Sierra del Montnegre. Don't forget to look at the lighthouse, which appears even more stunning from above. Witness the most panoramic views of the Mediterranean, which leaves coves with clean water as it goes through Barcelona before you return along the shore.

Don't be afraid to experience Barcelona in this unique style and show off your most daring side by boarding the aircraft that will transport you to several fascinating locations throughout the province of Barcelona.
