Partridge Shooting at Las Barracas, Mallorca

Partridge on a Mediterranean hillside. A thousand hectares between Calvià and Andratx, steep and terraced under pine and maquis, where birds break from cover fast and close and change line as they cross. Driven and walked-up days, and the Balearic boc — a wild goat found nowhere else on earth.

Mallorcan partridge shooting is a different proposition from the La Mancha plains. The ground is steep, terraced and covered in pine and maquis, so birds come out of cover fast, at close range, and change line as they cross. Walked-up days here are genuinely sporting rather than a consolation.

The island's compactness is part of the appeal: Palma airport is close, the drive to the ground is short, and a shooting programme sits easily inside a long weekend.

The Balearic boc is endemic to Mallorca and cannot be taken anywhere else. For guns who want a bird programme with something genuinely unusual attached, this is the combination.

The Value of our Shooting Package — Las Barracas

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 Palma de Mallorca airport, 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.
