Cortijo Palacio Los Montes hosts weddings, corporate events, congresses and incentive trips, with an air-conditioned hall for 300 guests and a bullring that seats 400. The estate is a fortified farmhouse in La Puebla del Río, about 18 km from Seville, on the edge of Doñana National Park.
Seminars and company events
The venue lists congresses, corporate events and business incentive trips among the events it organises. Its team can handle the whole event: transport, music, stage setup, decoration and night lighting. For incentive groups, the shows are the strong point. The cortijo offers flamenco performances and equestrian and bullfighting displays in its own bullring, which can open or close an evening for a large group. Supervised parking is available on site. The website does not detail meeting equipment, so a plenary session or a workshop format should be checked with the team.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the main activity, including civil ceremonies. Religious ceremonies can take place in the Ducal Chapel of Nuestra Señora del Rosario, which keeps a 14th-century sculpture of Saint Sebastian and also hosts concerts. Receptions move between the patios, the 16th-century cloister, the gardens and the main hall. The services list also covers photography, video and decoration.
Rooms and capacities
The Salón Marqués de Astorga is fully air-conditioned and seats up to 300 guests for a meal. The bullring holds up to 400 seated, with stands for about 100 more spectators. A smaller dining room takes about 70 people. The estate also has three cobbled patios, the cloister, gardens and a lake.
Accommodation
The official site does not mention bedrooms on the estate. Guests usually stay in Seville, about 18 km away, and the venue can arrange transport.
Catering
The venue lists catering among its services and highlights its food offer, but the website does not describe menus or say whether outside caterers are accepted. Ask the team for the catering terms when you request a date.
History and setting
The house was the main building of Los Montes Realengos, a royal hunting ground of Philip IV, and appears on a map of the property dated 1665. Recent archaeological work suggests a Tartessian settlement on the site, from the time when the Guadalquivir estuary reached the area between La Puebla del Río, Coria and Dos Hermanas. The cortijo belongs to the Casa Ducal de Maqueda, is listed as architectural heritage by the Junta de Andalucía and houses a museum. It stands on a rise above the marshland, surrounded by forest and gardens, and is reached along an avenue of palms and jacarandas.
Getting there
The entrance is at kilometer 6 of the road from La Puebla del Río to Isla Mayor, about 18 km from Seville. Guests arriving by air land at Seville airport, and those coming by high-speed train arrive at Sevilla Santa Justa. Both are within driving distance, and the venue can organise coaches or other transport for the group.
