Freefall university is a nice big open dropzone.
The atmosphere is great, very chilled out, with very friendly and professional staff, who will not just teach you but share a great deal of additional knoweledge with you to advance your skills.
FFU is a great place to meet lots of other british jumping buddy's.
If your on face book go to (Free Fall University Graduates!) plenty of people on there to have a chat with about the FFU.
The night life is brilliant with some favoured bars and restaurants where you can chill and blow off some adrenaline and talk about the days jumping with your jumping buddys.
In Aranjuez the town which is only 10/15 mins drive from the DZ is where the best places to stay are.
I would advise against staying at the hotel on the dropzone, its nice, but there is nothing there at all.
The main place to stay is infantas hotel which does the job no problem.
It has rooms from basic to very good at a good price.Rooms range from about 20-40 Euros a night.
I have to say if you are a first time student this is totally the place to visit or just fancy some fun jumps, it is a mega drop zone.
