Presentation of Llanos del Caudillo

The municipality of Llanos del Caudillo (719 inhabitants in 2018; 2,045 ha) is located 60 km north-east of Ciudad Real.

Llanos del Caudillo was established in 1953 by the Instituto Nacional de Colonización.
In 2004, 70% of the inhabitants voted against the suppression of "del Caudillo", a straightforward reference to Francisco Franco, from the municipality's name. On 28 April 2016, the lawyer Eduardo Ranz required 11 Spanish municipalities to drop reference to Franco or his dignitaries from their names, claiming this was a violation of the Law on Historical Memory.
The Court of Ciudad Real allowed in June 2016 Llanos del Caudillo to keep its complete name.
