I will be in Spain end of next month, are there any decent places to visit aeroclub wise down there that are within an hour or so flight in a C172.
Somebody mentioned Malaga aero museum, but I guess landing at Malaga would be costly ?

You will find that ALL the AENA airports have massively hiked their fees and most now also required mandatory handling. Makes quick visits prohibitively expensive. Seems like Spain can afford to chase people away.. :}
In a 1-hour radius of LEJR that doesn't leave an awful lot of places: LEJU La Juliana (but see about the procedures there re meatbombing and documentation), LEBA and LEAX, possibly LEGR wich I believe is still reasonably priced. You could, of course, also go to GMTT / Tangiers which is about 45mins from LEJR.

Google Brian Mellor (BM Aviation) at Jerez. Excellent school and they have a 172
