La Flamenca
For those that have family in tow or non-shooters wanting to stay in Madrid while you experience proper Spanish partridge shooting, this is the dream ticket. Stay in one of Madrid's finest hotels right in the heart of the city and you can a proper day's shooting just forty-five minutes from your hotel. There are no downsides. La Flamenca is the real deal from utterly charming host Javier to some wonderful drives of traditional partridges over this 4,200 hectare estate.
Casasola
Finca Casasola is a beautiful estate located 22 miles (36 km) away from Madrid. Fairly rugged country, with steep and brushy hills, and its autochthonous agriculture, provide the ideal conditions for the partridge. This outstanding hunting area, one of the best in Spain, is specialized in driven red partridge shooting using traditional methods. Casasola is a family-run business with over 42 year’s experience. Amanda Hornedo and Pepe Otaola are wonderful hosts, you will share with them some fantastic hunting memories.
Ventosilla
Ventosilla is one of the most famous Spanish shoots and its reputation is rightly earned. Home to the first ever driven partridge shoot in Spain held in 1884, it does not get more traditional than this. The Palace was built in the 15th century by the wealthy and powerful cardinals of Toledo as their private hunting estate and their descendants still own and run the estate to this day. The estate has 60 varying drives covering many thousands of acres.
Las Golondrinas
Las Golondrinas de Santa Cristina has been in the family of Fernando Díaz de Bustamanta since the early 14th Century, where their fore-fathers, the Count of Adanero and Marques de Castroserna would have historically arranged their hunts. The estates takes in 17,000 hectares of undulating ground, with a network of ravines running throughout, gorged through the rock by watercourses over time, this makes the shooting not only beautiful and unspoiled but hugely varied with 75 different drives to choose from.
La Nava
Located south of Madrid, deep in La Mancha countryside, La Nava is perhaps the most highly regarded shoot in Spain. On approaching up the drive, the first views of the lodge are spectacular with towering views overlooking the 4900 hectares which make up the shoot. It is the stunning, purpose-built shooting lodge, the variety of the shooting from the highest of birds to traditional Spanish drives and all the impeccable attention to detail which makes La Nava so well respected.
Los Melonares
Los Melonares is the most like a UK shoot with thicker vegetation and narrower valleys. The shooting is excellent and one cannot help but feel at home at the wonderful house with its tree-lined courtyards, outside sitting areas and display of trophies from times gone by. The family are hands on beginning with your hostess Pachi, a keen shot herself and a bundle of energy for whom nothing is too much trouble. Jerónimo is the estate’s manager, charming and relaxed.
Las Barracas
Situated on the stunning island of Mallorca, just a stones-throw from the capital of Palma, between the towns of Calvià and Port d’Andratx is not where you might expect to find a driven partridge shoot! This property has been in the Rossinol family for the past four centuries and it’s current custodians; Sio and her father Manuel work closely alongside business partner and Spanish-shooting supremo Carlos Rua to ensure they continue to provide exciting partridge shooting in this stunning setting.
Monterias & Big Game
Spain is home to incredible large game species ranging from; Red, Roe and Fallow deer, to Wild Boar, Mouflon, Ibex and Chamois. The most famous and exhilarating form of big-game hunting in Spain, would be the Monteria. Quite the event to take part in, our trusted network of estates and suppliers can organise some of the best. These are driven big-game hunts, where a huge area is flushed using dogs and beaters pushing several species of animals towards the Guns.
