If you are staying in Granada, one of the most memorable mornings you can add is a hot air balloon flight over Guadix, in Granada province, with the Sierra Nevada on the horizon and a landscape of gullies and plateau that looks nothing like the rest of Andalucía.
It is our cheapest balloon location (€200 per person) and one of the most photogenic. The flight is at sunrise, so most people stay nearby the night before.
