Amalia de Llano

After the death of her father, her mother married Francisco Falcó y Valcárcel, IX Marquis of Almonacid de los Oteros.

[1] The Countess of Vilches participated and organized plays, as well as literary encounters much frequented by intellectual figures and artists of her time.

A great fan of literature, she tried her hand as a writer and managed to publish two novels: Ledia and Berta; the latter saw the light the year she died.

[2] The Countess of Vilches unconditionally supported Isabel II, and was very favourable to the Bourbon Restoration which ended the First Spanish Republic by a coup d'état.

She was buried in the Saint Isidore Cemetery in Madrid, in the family vault of the Marquis of Almonacid de los Oteros, built in 1870 by the architect Wenceslao Gaviña Baquero.
