What to see and do in Montarrón

Montarrón
Village
Montarrón is a municipality of the La Campiña comarca, in the province of Guadalajara, which today barely gathers some thirty residents across its 11.17 square kilometres, compared with the 426 inhabitants it once had in the mid-19th century. During the Civil War it suffered several bombardments that drove the population to emigrate to villages in the province of Cuenca, and the village was so badly affected that its reconstruction, once the war was over, was carried out through the Dirección General de Regiones Devastadas y Reparaciones, several hundred metres from its original site. Of that first Montarrón, ruins and a water trough remain today.
Old Montarrón
Curiosity
Bombed during the Civil War, the town was rebuilt by Regiones Devastadas several hundred metres from its original site. Ruins and a drinking trough survive from the old settlement.
A municipality of thirty residents
Curiosity
Montarrón, in La Campiña (Guadalajara), came to have 426 inhabitants in the mid-19th century, according to Pascual Madoz's 1848 census, which recorded 106 households. The Civil War cut short that growth: the village suffered several bombardments that led much of its population to emigrate to towns in the province of Cuenca, and it was left so badly affected that it had to be rebuilt a few hundred metres from its original site. Today, with its 11.17 square kilometres and 821 metres of altitude, it barely reaches thirty inhabitants: 31 in 2025, a density of 2.78 inhabitants per square kilometre.
