Trek Exclusive: Spain Hosted Experience at Monasterio de San Pelayo

Spain’s legendary driven partridge shooting is fast, high, and exhilarating, and San Pelayo is widely regarded as one of the finest venues in the country. The estate’s dramatic terrain, deep valleys, oak forests, and brush-covered ridges, produces powerful, challenging birds that reward experienced guns. Beaters flush out the birds on horseback, providing a magnificent energy to the daily spectacle.

World-class Spanish loaders and secretarios manage every detail with precision and grace, allowing you to focus entirely on the rhythm, flow and enjoyment of the shoot. Each drive is meticulously planned for wind, variety and spectacle, delivering a sporting experience that is both authentic and exceptional.

While shooters are in the field, non-hunting companions will enjoy exploring the magnificent estate, as well as curated experiences of Spain’s rich culture, heritage and way of life.

Dining throughout the stay is a celebration of Castilian hospitality: indulgent breakfasts, memorable field lunches, and refined multi-course dinners paired with exceptional Spanish wines.

Monestario San Pelayo itself is awe-inspiring venue that stands as one of the most unique and revered shooting estates in the world. Through the vision and significant financial investments of San Pelayo’s ownership group, the centuries old monastery, previously in a state of ruin, has been artfully restored for luxe modern comfort, while retaining its original Roman, Gothic, and Renaissance architectural elements.

Guests reside in expansive stone-arched suites with lavish baths, crackling fireplaces and elegant common spaces that honor centuries of history while delivering every modern comfort. Evenings unfold with a culinary journey into a world of elite Spanish cuisine paired with exceptional Rioja and Ribera del Duero wines in the cloistered courtyard, an atmosphere that is intimate, historic and profoundly unforgettable.
