In the heart of Castilla-La Mancha, where the plains are painted with vineyards, scrubland, and cereal fields, lies a place steeped in centuries of hunting tradition: Coto Sotuélamos. Since 1964, this privileged estate has been synonymous with excellence, tradition, and a deep passion for small game hunting—especially for the red-legged partridge, the undisputed queen of our countryside.
More than just a hunting preserve, Sotuélamos is a complete experience. A space where landscape, legacy, and top-tier organization come together to offer unforgettable days of ojeo (driven partridge shooting), walked-up hunting with dogs, and calling with decoys. Here, hunting is art, emotion, and respect for nature..
Driven Red-Legged Partridge Shooting: The Noblest Tradition of La Mancha
Sotuélamos' flagship modality is the driven partridge shoot, practiced in the same spirit as in days gone by—with passion, precision, and flawless organization. With more than 25 drives spread across 7,000 hectares of varied terrain—vineyards, gentle hills, scrubland, and brush—the estate guarantees bold, fast, and challenging birds.
Each drive is a perfectly orchestrated choreography. Hunters, guided by seasoned professionals, experience memorable moments in a meticulously maintained environment, with personalized attention that makes every day a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The thrill of the shot, traditional taco snacks in the field, and long conversations by the fire complete this all-encompassing hunting experience.
Walked-Up Hunting with Dogs: Passion, Instinct, and Nature
For those seeking a more active and intimate connection with the land, walked-up hunting with dogs is the ideal choice. In specially prepared areas of the estate, hunters and their four-legged companions roam the terrain in pursuit of wild partridges, adapting to the wind, landscape, and the moment.
This discipline, which demands technique, synergy, and knowledge of the terrain, is highly valued by experienced hunters. At Sotuélamos, it can be practiced every day during the season, with complete freedom and on land renowned for its quality.
Calling with a Decoy: Silence, Tradition, and Pure Emotion
Between January and March, Sotuélamos offers another gem of traditional small game hunting: calling with a male decoy bird. From carefully positioned fixed blinds, hunters immerse themselves in a game of patience and cunning that connects them to the deepest roots of Spanish hunting culture.
This form of hunting is reserved for those who appreciate the restrained excitement of birdsong, careful environmental analysis, and the precision of the shot. Sotuélamos offers single-day outings or full passes, with expert guidance and careful attention to every detail of the setup.
