Partridge Shooting at Fuentelfresno, Guadalajara

Fifteen thousand hectares of Guadalajara, close to Madrid and its airport. A specialist driven red-legged partridge estate on ground that rises towards the Sistema Central, so the birds arrive high. Scale enough to rest drives through a season, and near enough to build a short programme around.

Guadalajara rises away from the Madrid basin towards the Sistema Central, so the ground has more contour than the flatter parts of La Mancha. Drives use that relief, and the birds arrive high.

Fifteen thousand hectares gives the same rotational advantage as the largest estates on this list: drives can be rested, and birds shown on ground they have not been pushed over recently.

Proximity to Madrid makes this the easiest estate here to build a short programme around — land, shoot, and be back in the city the same evening if that is what suits.

The Value of our Shooting Package — Fuentelfresno

What a fully inclusive package covers here — full board on the estate in the staffed hacienda, all wines, spirits and soft drinks, return transfers from Madrid-Barajas, and ammunition, Spanish gun and hunting licences — with the point that overage is counted per gun, so each gun pays only for the birds it has shot.

How a Spanish Driven Day Runs

Driven Partridge shoots in Spain differ slightly from the UK in the manner that the day is conducted. A typical day consists of 4 or 5 drives and as the days are still quite long the day can operate in a relaxed but professional manner. Tapas will be taken after 2 drives (and after drive 4 on a 5 drive day) Lunch will be at the days end so there is no rush at all. The birds are fast and furious and test even the best guns. The weather is normally good so all can be Al-Fresco. You are always supplied with a loader or “stuffer” who carries all you gear and generally looks after you, this all combines to give you an overall most enjoyable experience.
