Your trip
If travelling from the US you can fly directly into Madrid Adolfo Suarez Airport where we will have an Encinarejo Outfitters Team member waiting to clear your firearms for you. You will then be brought directly to the finca to start your hunting adventure. Please not that there is a transfer fee involved due to the fact that Madrid falls outside of our 250 km radius for free transfer.
There is also the option to rent a car in Madrid. If you plan to do any tourism in Spain after your hunt then this is a very good option. If you chose to rent a car then a representative will still meet you at the arrivals terminal to clear your rifles and then help you with collect your rental car.
If you are travelling to us as an EU Citizen or resident the easiest route would be to fly to Málaga International Airport. From there one of our team will meet you to clear your firearms and bring you directly to the finca.
If Málaga is not an option then Madrid Adolfo Suarez Airport is the next best option. We will have a representative waiting for you at the arrivals terminal to clear your firearms and then bring you directly to the finca. Please note that there is a transfer fee involved as Madrid is outside out of 250 km radius for free transport.
