While new to Trek’s shooting portfolio, Las Ahijaderas Lodge is renowned in European hunting circles for its 35 years of excellence in hosting driven red-legged partridge adventures in Spain. Las Ahijaderas offers expertly managed partridge drives, private accommodations, an outstanding culinary program, and exciting activities for non shooters.

Trek is hosting a group adventure at Las Ahijaderas Oct. 13-17, 2025. For information on this trip or other available dates, please email [email protected] or call us at 1-800-654-9915.

Located in Salamaca, just north of Madrid, Las Ahijaderas is easily accessible from major U.S. hubs. When you arrive in Madrid, you’ll be met by a member of Las Ahijaderas Lodge and be transferred 2.5 hours to the lodge.

You’ll check into your room and have time to relax before cocktail hour and dinner with your group. For shooters, the next three days will be filled with the excitement of expertly managed red-legged partridge drives. Non hunting companions will enjoy a range of thrilling cultural excursions.

On your final day, you’ll be transferred back to Madrid for your flight home.

Thanks to favorable hunting laws in Castilla-León, we are able to offer hunts during exclusive months when partridge and other game hunts are closed elsewhere in Europe. The program’s accomplished gamekeeper, Alfonso Fabres, also serves as your host for this exceptional adventure.

The Spanish “Perdiz Roja” is the ultimate test for any wingshooter. Known for their unpredictable flight patterns, these fast, high-flying game birds will challenge even the most seasoned shooters.

Hunting comprises four to five drives per day, with an average daily bag of 500 birds per group. Enjoy the camaraderie of rotating positions and the excitement of center-line and end-line blinds.

Your day begins with a “tomelot” (lot drawing) for blind positions. Each blind includes a cargador (loader) and secretario (spotter). Between drives, cool drinks are served, and after the second drive, savor a gourmet lunch in the field. The day concludes with a grand “Tableau”—a ceremonial display of the day’s success.

For those who prefer not to shoot, we offer private vehicles and hostesses for sightseeing excursions. Explore the rich culture of Salamanca, shop in charming Spanish towns, or relax and enjoy the scenic countryside.

After a day in the field, retreat to our luxury lodge, where rustic charm meets full-service comfort.

Nestled in the heart of Spain’s rugged and picturesque countryside, Las Ahijaderas Lodge offers a perfect blend of history, charm, and adventure. Originally built as a traditional Spanish estate, the lodge has been lovingly restored to preserve its centuries-old architecture while incorporating modern comforts for today’s travelers.

Surrounded by rolling hills, ancient oak forests, and crystal-clear streams, Las Ahijaderas serves as both a tranquil retreat and a gateway to outdoor adventure. The lodge comprises 19 guest with inviting common areas offering inspiring views of the estate. Amenities include satellite TV, Wi-fi, swimming pool, tennis court, as well as clay and live pigeon shooting.

The lodge features luxurious yet cozy accommodations, with individually designed rooms that blend rustic charm with modern amenities. After a day of exploration, guests can unwind by the crackling fireplace in the communal lounge or savor traditional Spanish cuisine made from locally sourced ingredients in the lodge’s dining room.

At Las Ahijaderas Lodge, every detail reflects a commitment to sustainability and authenticity, ensuring that your stay supports the preservation of this beautiful corner of Spain for generations to come. Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or a deep connection with nature, Las Ahijaderas Lodge offers an unforgettable experience in the heart of rural Spain.
