Experiences in Spain
Driven Hunting - Monterias
The Monteria is a type of driven hunt, typical of Spain. Quarry includes Red deer, Fallow Deer, Mouflon and Wild Boar. Foxes are usually included in the quarry list but are not considered the main target species.
Monterias are a very social event. Beginning with all guns and guests meeting for breakfast on the chosen estate. Guests are always welcome, and there is are no age restrictions.
A Spanish monteria is unlike any sort of big game shooting that you will experience in the UK and so is highly recommended by the Calpe Sporting team.
