fly in spain

I've flown there, albeit a while back. Everything that has been said here so far all has the ring of truth. The comments about the planes, availability and owner all seem about right. On the other hand there are good points. The examiner, Brian, is great, very experienced and pragmatic. There is a nice air of informality but its a reasonable size airport. The airspace, procedure and destinations are all good learning curves. I needed an intensive few days of flying to get back up to speed after a long layoff and they got an instructor back from his cropspraying day job for me to give me the time and post-ppl experience I needed and I learnt a lot and enjoyed myself. Not so sure how it would work out as a place to do a ppl from scratch or to do hour building. If you are local rather than under trip based pressureit would work but probably not a place to do californian style hours building every day. Oh and they charge per landing even at home base.
