Quintanar is a unique and exceptional place for partridge shooting, and due to special circumstances, we are allowed to shoot at any time of year. We have been shooting partridges in Quintanar for the last four generations. The property’s centenary shrub oaks, gall oaks, pines, junipers and a varied orography, broken by gullies, together offer a changing landscape and a wide range of shooting situations, which make every drive different.
Driven partridge shooting in Spain is recognised worldwide for its quality. It was introduced at the end of the 19th Century and promoted by King Alfonse XIII, the finest shot of his time. By the early 1920’s the sport was already very popular on the most important Spanish estates.
The Spanish strain of red-legged partridge is particularly fast and agile and the style of shooting is extremely exciting. No other game bird provides the same exhilarating range of challenging shooting.
A great variety of birds are seen, often within a single drive – ultra-high overheads curling on a good crosswind; low, grouse-type birds skimming the scrub in front of you or coming as fast crossers; and everything in between.
The guns stand in butts, portable or fixed, and the stands are designed so the guns can shoot freely at any height in front or behind.
The house is equipped for both large and small groups, family & friends or for company entertaining. The bedrooms are spacious and extremely comfortable, with modern bathrooms, comfortable armchairs, plenty of cupboard space and stunning views across the countryside.
Downstairs there is a large drawing room, a dining room which seats 25, and a sitting room with a warming fire.
We entertain in family style; we host your stay ourselves, and if our children are at home you will find them waiting at table and helping us look after you. We serve simple, delicious food, and fine Spanish wines.
