CAZATUR & THE VENTOSILLA CASTLE:
For several years, Eduardo Araoz, owner of CAZATUR-SPAIN, has been offering to its exclusive shooting clientele the privilege of using the Ventosilla Castle its shooting grounds, for the world famous driven red legged partridge shoots. The Castle, located twenty minutes from the ancient, original Roman Imperial city of Toledo and one hour drive from Madrid, your point of arrival, was built in the 16th century, as a hunting retreat for the wealthy and powerful Cardinals in Spain of Toledo. It has been enlarged and updated by the subsequent generations of the same family, offering todays best shooting organization in Spain, as said by out shooters in our testimonials book.
Ventosilla Castle, was the first estate in Spain to organize driven shoots for red legged partridges back in 1864, by the Duke of Santona. His son the Count of Teba, nephew of HRH Queen Elisabeth II from England, continued the tradition which now has been inherited by his grandsons, who as in the past arrange these shoots with the same greatness and elegance. The Castle offers 14 Suite type rooms, for the shooter and non-shooters to enjoy a comfortable rest. The Castle chef, and wine selection are second to none.
