Thanks for your sharing your opinion.
It's quite the same my uncle (ex-pilot) has told me:
A pilot training program is dependent on the quality of the ground and flight instruction the student receives.
He added that the beginning student pilot will, most probably, attempt to imitate their flight instructor during training.
So i am fully aware of all that.
Spain is not a must for me, i might choose portugal, sweden or even switzerland.
It all depends on the impressions and contacts i will make during my european visits starting next week.
