For PPL I know a great one in Madrid LECU. It's not a big school, but his owners (the instructors) are very experienced pilots that have been flying all their lifes. They put all the effort on the students, and they are always very attentive (literally, you can always call them or take extra lessons). It's there where you really learn to fly!
The problem with big schools here in Spain its that they put all their focus in the integrated ATPL courses. And they usually have instructors with not much flying expreience. That being said, some have pretty good ground schools.

The conditions of the school, what you liked and didn't. Are you from Slovenia? How is their english?
It's also about 5000eu cheaper then the place I'm leaning torwards. That might just be because it's Eastern Europe though.

Its not eastern Europe, Slovenia is in Schengen btw... you have Austria 20km from the airport, Italy 200km etc...
Their English is great, some older instructors do struggle a bit with pronunciation which does induce some laughs every now and then
but you can understand everything and everything is in English, except some forms which they forgot to translate, haha...
I really like the approach, they are small but the attitude is very proffesional and no bull
... so far I just found out that their ceo is actually former CAA director.
No I'm not from Slovenia but yes I found a room in the city to be close to the airport.

Wherever you are taking your training at, make sure your instructor is not a touchy one. recently my instructor has been replaced (previous one got a job with wizzair) This new one is touching controls pretty much always and he is not even saying ' my controls'. I dont really know who is flying the plane, previous instructor left me controls from flight 1 to my first solo, he only demostrated things and gave me instructions, that s it, he let me experience the plane. So ask around about possible instructors if they are too much touchy or they let you fly
