Interesting post Windy. I'm way past the HB stage now, but did look at F-i-S at the time, but opted for the US (SoCal) in the end - seem to recall flying in Spain wasn't that much cheaper than the UK at the time (2007), but I appreciate things may have changed. I know the area very well and it is beautiful as you say. Is Hans (the German) still there?
