gliding airfields in spain?

i would like to go gliding(i am a gliding student, no GPL yet but i have enough experience so my instructor lets me solo in thermals) for about two weeks for this summer vacation in spain, hear there are great flying conditions in pyrenees.

so my question is are there any airfields in spain where they launch gliders and have instructors to go with them on weekdays?

Update:

im okey with flying with instructor for starters or even getting the student licence for 2 weeks im there. might also happen that i will go there to fly more often than this once

Update 2:

oh yeah and i dont speak spanish so thats a problem, around here most airmen speak english with no problems but i dont know about spain

    Yes there are gliding airfields with aero-tow and ground-tow in Spain -

    But problem for you to solo - need Spanish student licence for EC registry -

    I recall gliding activities around Lérida, Northern Spain -

    If you speak/read Spanish go see "www.google.es"

    Look for "escuelas" or "centros" de "planeador(es)"
