wellcome to Finca el dehesón

Extending to 2000/has of rolling arable landscape, interspersed with large tracts of Spanish Holm Oak, deep in the La Mancha countryside, famous for the Don Quixote stories and perfect for the superb Spanish Partridge, the El Deheson hunting estate was founded by Snr Mariano Barcelo in 1975. It was Snr Barcelo’s desire to create the most idyllic private sporting estate to be found anywhere in Spain, where he could entertain his shooting guests. His hospitality was legendry and the purpose built 14 bedroom private hotel stands as testament to his vision and with no expense spared to fulfil his ambition. Those invited, enjoyed superb shooting—partridge, wild boar, red deer, live pigeon competition and more—all complimented with lavish fine dining and impressive wines. The entire experience was to be absolute pleasure from start to finish.
Today, the family Barcelo,, has taken over the task and the El Deheson experience. Is now open to all sportsmen/sportswomen who wish to sample the same splendour of those days gone by.
