Hi Everyone!!!

I did my IR conversion in Malaga in November 2013.

I had an FAA SE IR and converted to an ME/IR EASA
To get there you must convert first the SE part which includes a checkride.
Then the ME part another checkride.

Total time for me was 3 weeks.
SE was 10h sim + 5h C172RG + Check
ME was 3h sim + 2h BE76 + Check

Instructors are great, friendly and don't worry will point out all your mistakes...

For accommodation you can fin on a spanish web called atrapalo dot....
For a car go to pepecar dot...

I stayed in a hotel on a place in between velez and malaga city for 22 Euros with breakfast included and I shared that room with a friend of mine. the hotel name is maria cristina..

The car costed for 3 weeks 60 Euros plus 80 Euros of full insurance and 80 Euros more for a full tank of petrol the company charges so you can bring the car empty fuel.

Overall experience was fantastic I would go again and will go there when I will have to revalidate the ME IR...

Radios in malaga can be done in english and spanish.
Radios going out of velez have to be done in spanish but dont worry the instructor will do them, until your 5 miles out of the field and contact radar which you can talk in english.

I did flew in IMC going to granada and almeria but normally the weather is great.

And 30 Kts. wind aloft to not allow a SE or ME to fly I just find it ridiculous.

Happy landings and hope my info was useful to someone.
