## Spanish driven partridge for parties flying from the US

Spain offers some of the finest driven partridge shooting in the world, and it is closer than most American visitors expect: an overnight flight to Madrid, then a booked transfer to an estate where the guns and licences are ready. Hendry, Ramsay & Waters has arranged Spanish partridge for American parties for many years. This page answers the questions we are asked from the US most often. For the estates themselves, see [Partridge Shooting Spain](https://scothunt.co.uk/locations/spain/partridge-shooting/).

The bag, the number of guns and the number of days set the cost per gun; see [what sets the price of a Spanish partridge day](https://scothunt.co.uk/locations/spain/partridge-shooting/#what-sets-the-price).

## Planning your Spanish partridge trip from the USA

### Do I need to bring my own shotgun to shoot partridge in Spain?

No. Every one of our Spanish estates provides guns and shells, and the Spanish gun and hunting licences are arranged by Hendry, Ramsay & Waters before you travel as part of the package. Most of our American guests travel without firearms for this reason, which avoids airline paperwork and customs declarations on both sides of the Atlantic.

If you would rather shoot your own gun, tell us at the time of booking. We will walk you through the Spanish paperwork and tell you which airlines currently carry firearms.

### Which airport do I fly into from the United States?

Madrid for most of our estates, Seville for Los Melonares and Palma de Mallorca for Las Barracas. Madrid has non-stop flights from several US cities; Seville is a short connection from Madrid. Estate transport meets your flight and airport transfers both ways are included in the package, so you do not need to rent a car. Tell us which estate you are considering and we will confirm the airport before you book flights.

### What is included in a Spanish driven partridge package?

Our Spanish packages include airport transfers both ways, all meals in the estate lodge or a first-class hotel with wines and drinks, transport on the shoot, a loader or secretary for each gun, shells, and the Spanish gun and hunting licences. International flights are not included. Extra birds are charged per gun (each shooter), so each gun pays only for the birds it has shot, not a share of the group’s.

### What does driven partridge shooting in Spain cost per person?

Our trips are priced in euros and quoted for your party. As a worked example from our published 2026–27 Madrid offer: **two 500-bird days for a team of eight guns is €64,000 including Spanish VAT (IVA), which is €8,000 per gun** . That covers reception at Madrid-Barajas and help through customs with firearms, airport and shoot transfers, two nights’ full board at the lodge with all wines, spirits and soft drinks, the Spanish hunting licence and airport firearms taxes, all the sport, meals and drinks on the shoot, and shotgun ammunition. Not included: international flights, the loader and secretario (€80 each per shooting day, paid to the staff), house staff (€100 per person per trip), gun hire (€150 per pair per day) and extra birds at €53 each. The dollar cost follows the exchange rate on the day you pay.

Three things set the price of your own trip: the daily bag you want (our days start at 300 birds and run to 500 and beyond), the number of guns and the number of days. [Send us those three](https://scothunt.co.uk/book-a-bird-shooting-trip/) and we will come back with a full quotation in euros, with no obligation.

### When is the Spanish partridge season?

1 October to 31 March. A typical day is four or five drives with tapas after the second drive and lunch at the end of the day, usually in good weather and outdoors.

### Can I add a few days in Madrid or Seville to the trip?

Yes, and most American parties do. Madrid and Seville are both worth a few days after the shoot, and we are happy to book the hotel nights and transfers so the whole trip is on one itinerary. Some parties combine Spanish partridge with driven pheasant or red stag stalking in Scotland on the same journey; ask us and we will build it around your dates.
