The municipality of Valdeconcha (36 inhabitants in 2014; 2,350 ha; municipal website) is located in the south of the Province of Guadalajara, 50 km of Guadalajara.
Valdeconcha was once a dependency of Zorita de los Canes, whose castle
was the capital of an area ruled by the Order of Calatrava. Valdeconcha was granted the status of villa on 8 July 1495 by King Ferdinand the
Catholic. In 1542, Charles I separated Valdeconcha from the Order of
Calatrava domain and sold it to Tristán Calvete, Bishop of Oviedo. The
Calvete family would rule Valdeconcha until the suppression of the
feudal system.
The big parish church of Valdeconcha was erected in the 17th century,
using the stones from the palace of the bishop of Oviedo, of which
nothing has remained.
