Summer hunting in Spain:

Quail, rabbit and wood pigeon in the heart of La Mancha

Hunting season: Summer
Nearby airports: Madrid and Valencia

Enjoy a different kind of summer hunting experience in the heart of La Mancha, on a private estate that combines hunting, nature, comfort and gastronomy. This program is designed for hunters who want to enjoy a few days of hunting in Spain during the summer, taking advantage of the best moments of the day and resting in a comfortable and pleasant setting between outings.

Hunters stay in an elegant country hotel located within the estate itself, with a swimming pool, spacious gardens, an outdoor terrace and a calm, authentic atmosphere. The restaurant serves traditional La Mancha cuisine prepared with local products, ideal for enjoying Spanish gastronomy after each day’s hunt.

The program is organized around summer temperatures, prioritizing the early morning hours and the end of the afternoon. Days begin at dawn with quail hunting over pointing dogs. Hunters cover cereal fields, stubble and open plains, accompanied by our guides and their trained dogs, or with their own dogs if they wish.

As the temperature starts to rise, the hunt can continue with rabbit, a very traditional format in Spain. Depending on the terrain conditions and the group’s preferences, rabbit can be hunted with dogs or with ferrets, a particularly dynamic, technical and entertaining way of hunting.

At midday, the pace changes completely. Hunters return to the hotel to enjoy the pool, relax in the gardens, have an aperitif or enjoy a leisurely lunch at the estate’s restaurant. This break allows them to recharge before resuming activity in the afternoon, when the temperature becomes more pleasant again.

The afternoon is usually devoted to wood pigeon shooting from a stand. Hunters are placed on the usual flight lines, in areas selected according to the birds’ movements. This method adds variety to the day, combining a calmer hunt with the excitement of pass shooting.

At the end of the day, depending on the group’s wishes and the conditions at the time, it is possible to go out again for quail or rabbit. The different methods can be combined to create a varied, dynamic program adapted to each hunter’s pace.

This trip can be organized over several days and is adapted to the characteristics of each group. It is suitable both for sporting hunters who want to walk and make the most of the outings on foot, and for hunters who prefer a more accessible formula, balancing hunting, rest and gastronomy.

Hunters may bring their own dogs or hunt accompanied by our local guides and their perfectly trained dogs. Our team takes care of all the organization on the ground so that every participant can enjoy a comfortable, smooth and authentic stay.

With quail hunting, ferret rabbit hunting, wood pigeon, a country hotel with a pool and traditional La Mancha cuisine, this program is an invitation to discover summer hunting in Spain in a different way: more varied, more relaxed and perfectly suited to small-game enthusiasts.
