The history of El Madroñal

El Madroñal, and a lot more besides, was a hunting estate frequented by Spanish royalty and their guests. In the 1960’s the area consisted of what are now, La Zagaleta, El Madroñal, La Reserva de Alcuzcuz and the private estate which has only recently changed ownership from the Roussel family. This enormous estate of over 3.700 acres or nearly 15 million square meters was owned by the Parladé family and later sold on to Thierry Roussel, a French pharmaceutical owner who later married Cristina Onassis, and who entertained the Spanish king, British and Saudi royalty, heads of state, the owners of various corporations and celebrities on his vast estate.
