South Africa, New Zealand, USA, Canada,
I am excited about going to and hunting Spain. I first got interested in Spain because of a post by @Just Gina and @ActionBob. I chatted with Gina about their hunt and was encouraged to go. I am doing a Roe Deer hunt and a representative Ibex hunt. Bob probably will not surprise me with an early birthday present like Gina but I am hoping.

We fly into Madrid on Friday then travel directly to Valencia for a little tourism before the hunt. We will see the silk market, Sn Nicolas Church (Holy Grail), paella cooking class, central market, and a tour of the city. We will spend 4 days in Valencia.

Then off to hunt a little north of Valencia for 5 days. My wife is going to Pensacola and other are attractions while I hunt. We will start with the best Roe Deer I can find then try for a representative Bercite Ibex. I understand the issues with scabies but we will give it a try.

After the hunt we will travel to Barcelona for 4 days to see Tarragona, Park Guel, the central market, Montserrat Monastery, La Sagrada Famillia, and other Guadi sites.

Then we go back to Madrid for 4 days with trips to Segovia, Avila, and Toledo. We have a city tour of Madrid planned and lots of lunch and dinner reservations. Then we fly back. It is a direct flight DFW to Madrid on American Airlines.

Pray that the forecast for thunderstorms on Friday will be after we are in the air. I am praying for no delays. At least my wife works for American Airlines and can reaccommodate us if needed but that is not always easy. Suplico sus oraciones por nosotros.

I will post a hunting report when I return.
 
Good luck with your hunt in Spain. Last year my wife and I walked the Camino de Santiago where we stayed in a hotel that had massive roe deer racks in the dining room. I hope you get one that big. It also gave me an itch to go after one myself.
 
Hope you enjoy your trip !
 
Awesome!
Spain is wonderful, enjoy it to the fullest.
I’ll be anxiously awaiting a proper report with lots of pictures.

@Finprof “Last year my wife and I walked the Camino de Santiago…”
Congrats on your Camino, heck of an accomplishment.
I plan to do the Camino de Santiago Frances y Finisterre, hopefully within the next 5 years.
 
Hope you have a good trip, sounds like some great touring along with the hunt. My wife and I are wheels up on April 15th to hunt Roe deer north of Barcelona
