What they say about our partridge shoots in Spain

Discover what our guests say about their shooting experiences at El Despeñadero.

★★★★★

We flew over from Toronto for a few days of shooting in Spain and the whole experience exceeded our expectations. The birds were strong and challenging, the countryside was beautiful, and the organisation throughout the day was excellent. All El Despeñadero team made us feel incredibly welcome and everything ran seamlessly from start to finish. It was well worth the trip from Canada and we’re already talking about coming back next season.

Simply a superb day in the field. The birds were high, fast and properly testing, exactly what you hope for when travelling to Spain. Everything was run with great professionalism and the hospitality was first class throughout the day. Darío and his team clearly take great pride in what they do and it shows in every detail. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it and very much hope to return next season.

Absolutely outstanding! The partridge hunting here exceeded all expectations. The landscape was breathtaking, the organization flawless, and the attention to detail remarkable. Every moment felt unique, from the professionalism of the guides to the thrill of the hunt itself. It’s rare to find a place that combines tradition, excitement, and top-notch service so well. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and memorable hunting experience.
