See a different side of Spain this summer by hurtling towards it from 18,000 feet.

The Freefall University is an air sports centre just 30 minutes from Madrid and ten minutes from the city of Aranjuez, which specialises in Accelerated Freefall (AFF) skydiving courses.

Students enjoy the full attention of their own instructor and are usually guaranteed full days of jumping from the day or day after they arrive for training.

Courses are tailored to suit anyone from regular skydivers hoping to improve their technique to those with no experience at all. Beginners will learn how to fall with control and the best way to manoeuvre with the parachute deployed.

Boasting a beautiful climate and unbeatable scenery, Spain is a popular choice for thrill-seekers hoping to learn more skills than a traditional tandem dive usually allows.

The sport and area recently featured in a Honda car commercial where skydivers had just three minutes and 20 seconds to spell out a message in a series of formations over Madrid.
