BHPA beginners paragliding lessons and club pilot courses, teaching in perfect learning conditions in southern Spain and Europe

That was a fantastic holiday which exceeded my expectation in several areas.

Andy Hennessy

Can I just take this opportunity to follow in the wake of all your other students comments and tell you how happy we are that we chose FlySpain to complete our CP training. If I could wind the clock back I would have used yourselves to complete our EP as well

Chris Lee

I would like you to express my gratitude towards Jimmy and Ed(wardo) for all their help in passing the CP course. The course was a great experience and a lot of fun despite the bad weather at the start of the week.

Ian Grant

Project Manager

Hi Rob and Nic,I just want to say thanks for putting up with me last week. From start to finish everything was pretty much perfect. To complete the CP course in 6 days was a revelation...

Jono Hands

Dear Rob,Thanks to you and your crew for a fabulous two weeks in getting my CP license and being thoroughly enthused by you all about flying.

There is one major downside: you won't want to leave.

Simon Coulson

I don't do good decisions very often, but learning to paraglide with Fly Spain was definitely one of them

Stuart Chandler

We often remarked the extradorniarily lengths you go to to get us flying on the non-flyable days and as a consequence

Ray Thorton

I want to thank you for an excellent week and for me what was possibly the best holiday I have had in three decades! It is always a bit of a gamble booking things on line

Have u heard the phrase "it does what it says on the tin" well.... that's Flyspain, and very well too!!

Ron Phillips

Having spent years in the Army where training is always on going it was a pleasure to watch a well run course, slowly building up the confidence of the students.

Both Jan and I have enjoyed many holidays during our time but we have to admit that this rates amongst the best of those experiences.
