it's not just about price and weather, presumably there will be a local airport from which you're going to be doing most of your flying and there is a lot to be said for getting to know that field, how to find it, how to find and use the other fields in your area. you're not going to learn that in florida or spain. about 10 hours into my PPL i did one intensive week in spain just to make a few things click in some consistently good weather but i conciously chose to do all the rest at my home airfield for the reasons mentioned.
