Barcelona European Balloon Festival 2011 – Apartments during the European Balloon Festival

This colorful and bright balloon festival in Spain is every summer again a big success. The European Balloon Festival is the biggest balloon Festival of Spain and one of the biggest ones in Europe.

From Barcelona, it is very good to reach Igualada, where the festival is held. This is about 69 kilometers and there is a very good bus- and train connection between Barcelona and Igualada so Barcelona apartments are a good place to stay during the European Balloon Festival 2011. From Barcelona you can go with the R6 train to Igualada. In our Barcelona city guides, you can read more about the trains.

More then 40 balloons from all over the world will go in to the sky at the European Balloon Festival between 8^th and 11^th July 2011. The sky will be filled with color and joy and about 25.000 visitors will come to see this. Also, the stalls at the festival are very nice to visit and eat some Catalan snacks.

The European Balloon Festival 2011 is a wonderful and unique experience for everyone. This time of the year the weather in Spain is great so this is a good idea for a holiday. A Barcelona apartment would be a good solution for your stay during the European Balloon Festival.
