Hi,

Did my PPL there about a year ago. Nice place , I live in Spain . Weather in early December is wet traditionally so better later in the month. Basically it gets wet in the transition from hot to winter warm in that region. There is no ground school to speak of unless you pay the tutors on the QT so have your exams done first so you can concentrate on flying. If you do plan on doing exams there make sure you use the confuser. Admin and scheduling can be a bit frustrating at times but everybody means well. Be a little assertive when it comes to getting a proper brief and debrief , I had to turn around during my first attempts at crosswind landings and tell my tutor i had no idea what to do ( had not been briefed ). Thats a tip though and not meant to put you off , it just means take care of yourself a little and you will love the place.
