Where Legacy Shapes the Land
Las Loberuelas stands as the meeting point of two remarkable Spanish lineages, the Madariaga family, whose name is synonymous with sporting excellence and conservation, and the Caballero family of El Puerto De Santa Maria, founders of the celebrated sherry house Caballero, whose heritage is steeped in craftsmanship and tradition. Together, María and Gonzalo de Madariaga have shaped the estate into what it is today: a living expression of heritage, hospitality, and harmony with nature.
Hidden within the rolling hills between Andalucia and Extremodura, Las Loberuelas is more than a sporting estate, it is a family legacy. For decades, it has been regarded as one of Spain’s most authentic destinations for driven partridge shooting, offering not only extraordinary sport but a rare connection to Spain’s timeless rural culture.
A Legacy of Conservation and Sport
Gonzalo’s father, Valentín Madariaga y Oya, is remembered across Spain as one of the country’s most respected hunters, naturalists, and conservationists. A man whose passion for the countryside defined his life’s work, Valentín believed that true sport must go hand in hand with respect for the land. His influence helped to shape modern game management and ethical hunting practices throughout Spain, blending traditional methods with forward- thinking stewardship.
At Las Loberuelas, his philosophy continues. The estate’s partridge drives, red deer stalking, and wildlife management all reflect Valentín’s enduring principles: sustainability, precision, and reverence for the natural world. To shoot at Las Loberuelas is to experience not only the finest sport, but also a continuation of the Madariaga family’s values, a standard of integrity that transcends generations.
