RONDA-TEJEDA IBEX Hunting Program

Location

In the southern Spain, in the region of Andalucia

and province of Málaga, we will hunt the Ronda –

Tejeda ibex in the National Park of Tejeda, Almijara

and Alhama. The closest airport to this area is in Má-

laga. In Málaga airport, staff from Iberhunting will

welcome you and transfer to the Hotel La Viñuela,

close to the National Park where you will hunt during

the following days.

Hunting Area

The National Park of the Mountain ranges of Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama, which extends to

40.662 hectares, is situated between the provinces of Málaga and Granada.

In our country there are National Parks known for its remarquable management of the hunt which

leads us to get a good population of animals. To hunt in this areas means a strict control on the

hunting licences that have to be bought before the hunting date, specifying the kind of ibex (se-

lective, representative or trophy medals) to hunt. This ensures the continuity of the species and

ensures not only the success of the hunt but also the quality of trophy that you want to hunt.

The Sierra Tejeda mountain range is the high-

est section of this set of montains, reaching

2.066 meters at the peak of La Maroma. Spec-

tacular views of the Mediterranean coast and

neighbouring mountain ranges can be seen

from here. Rivers and streams flow rapidly

downhill along slopes of these mountains, of-

fering spectaculars waterfalls, such as The Pet-

rified Trees, where the limestone water miner-

alized ancient trunks. In other places, the wa-

ters give way to some of the most impressive

gorges, called Cahorros here.

Other geological elements which stand out are

the Cave of Nerja, declared National Monu-

ment, and also the schim of La Maroma. Alt-

hough diverse cultures converged in this area,

the three mountain ranges have a marked Mus-

lim heritage, with white villages strewn around

hard-to-reach valleys and mountains.

The white and grey tones of the ravines and

ridges predominate in these mountains, a con-

sequence of the abundance of marble in the

area. Settled on the white sands generated by

the breakdown of marble are several varieties

of pine such as the Aleppo pine or the Scots

pine.

The presence of great eagles (Royal Eagle,

Golden Eagle, Booted Eagle and Serpent Ea-

gle), Peregrine Falcon and Hawk, Nightjars,

forest and mountain birds, in particular the

Wheatears (black, Northern and black-eared

Wheatear), the Common Rock Thrush, the Blue

Rock Thrush and the Alpine Accentor is nota-

ble. But without a doubt, the best known ani-

mal in these mountains is the ibex.

Ronda-Tejeda Ibex

The Spanish Ibex of Ronda is distributed across

the South Spain, in the province of Málaga.

Morphologically it is the smallest of the four dif-

ferent types of ibex which are differentiated in

our country. Brought about by an adjustment

to the environment and to milder winters than

those of other areas of the Peninsula, it is main-

ly differentiated by the scarcity of black spots

on its coat. The hair is shorter, with a less abun-

dant mane and less occipital width in the cra-

nium.

The horns grow upwards in a V shape and then

backwards with a spiral twist of just 90 degrees. While this is the typical shape of the horn of the

Ronda goat, other formations may be found in this region, even within the same herd.

Description of the Hunt

Your hunting trip will start with your arrival to Málaga where Mr.Antonio Teruel will meet you. He

will accompany you during all your trip and will care for your hunt. After the clearance docu-

ments for bringing your riffle, you will be transfered to the Hotel La Viñuela, one of the most well

known in the province of Málaga and Andalucía in the classification of Hoteles Rurales con En-

canto or Charming Rural Hotels. Located in one of the most beautiful natural areas of Andalucia,

this hotel is surrounded by typical picturesque villages and only 15 minutes from the coast.

Our country is also famous for its gastronomy, and in this region you will have the opportunity to

taste from the sea the smaller fish (anchovies, red mullet, horse mackerel, squid and baby squid)

served fried, and inland, exquisite cold cuts and filling dishes as veal in garlic and fried goat. Deli-

cious meals accompanied by a wine of this region. Wines with denomination of origin “Málaga”

made using grapes of the variety “Pedro Ximénez” and “Moscatel”. These wines clearly show a

Mediterranean nature, sweet and velvety.

After the dinner, it’s the time to go to rest and recuperate for the following hunting days.

The hunt itself is a classic mountain hunt that starts in the early hours in the morning. After the

breakfast time, we will drive with the rangers of the Natural Park to the hunting area. Then we will

continue the hunt by a silent stalking using binoculars and scopes to calculate the distance and

size of the trophies. Shooting distances may be in the range of 150 – 250 meters.

Recommended calibres for this hunt are 300 WM, 338 WM and 270 Watherby. In most cases you

will have time to get a confortable rest for shooting, but sometimes you must be able to manage

quicker shots.

Typical old restaurant where

to delight ancestral recipes.

The normal itinerary for a selective or a representative Ibex is two hunting days with three nights

accommodation. For a trophy hunt, we add one more hunting day to the program. In normal

weather conditions we score a 100% of success in our hunt

Terms for Booking and Cancellations

Hunting in Natural Parks is based in a strict license system.

We need to buy licenses for your hunt prior your arrival. To confirm your booking we require a de-

posit of 50% of the cost for the hunt. The remaining balance to the full cost of your hunt has to be

paid not later than 60 days before the hunting date. In case to shoot a bigger trophy, the extra

points would be paid after the hunt by sign of the hunting protocol before your departure.

The measure of the trophies will be done “en verde” (in green) in the field by the rangers of the

Hunting Reserve.

Any reservation made less than sixty days before the hunting date will be confirmed by the full

payment of the hunt. In case of cancellation with more than 180 days before the hunting date,

the deposit will be refunded less 10% and five hundred euros as administration fees. In case of

cancellation between 180 and 61 days before the hunting date, the total deposit is forfeited. In

case of cancellation of 60 or less days before the hunting date, all booked services must be paid.

Injured animals which can’t be found are considered to be shot and must be paid by the cus-

tomer.

In normal weather conditions we score a 100% of success in our hunts. But if any case the weather

avoids a successful hunt or we don’t find the trophy expected during the hunt, we keep your

hunting licence and you can come back for huntin during the next two years with the only cost of

your spanish hunting licence and insurance (175,00.-€) and the dailyrates (450,00.-€)
