Experience the Pageantry and Thrill of Spanish Driven Partridge Shooting

From the very first partridge drive to the farewell dinner, Frontiers offers exceptional Spanish red-legged partridge shooting October through March at several magnificent estancias in the foothills of La Mancha. Your hospitable Spanish hosts welcome intact parties of guns throughout the season, and also offer open dates for single shooters to join existing lines of guns for challenging driven shoots in varying terrain with well-organized and experienced field staff.

Generally, there are five to six partridge drives during the day, with three in the morning and two or three in the afternoon. Snacks and refreshments are served between drives with a traditional lunch in the field midday, if weather permits, or back at the estancia. At day’s end, there is time to relax before evening cocktails and a multi-course dinner, often with entertainment.

Spain is a remarkable destination; aside from the shooting, it features a casual lifestyle with mostly warm sunny days in the fall, spectacular scenery, and festive evenings. For non-shooters, we can arrange excursions to Toledo and other interesting locations.

The Spanish hospitality is memorable. You will find attractive, private accommodations; friendly and attentive service; sumptuous dinners; lunch on the expansive verandah; and fun-filled evenings in the beautiful dining area. This is also a most enjoyable environment for non-shooting companions.

Over 40 years of experience in Spain gives us the perspective to compare and contrast properties, and we have selected the finest Spanish estancias which include Ventosilla, La Cuesta, Pinos Altos, and Los Melonares, as well as La Flamenca, La Nava, and Los Golodrinas. Each year our Spanish hosts introduce new and challenging partridge drives on varying terrain to create another dimension for repeat clients.
