The municipality of Vega de Santa María (103 inhabitants in 2009; 1,818 ha; unofficial website) is located in the northeast of Ávila Province, 25 km of Ávila.
Vega de Santa María is a rural village, whose lands are managed
collectively by the Asunción de Nuestra Señora cooperative; the members of the cooperative are the colonists - or they descendants -
who purchased in the 1950s the lands formerly owned by the Marchioness
of San Saturnino.

Conquista, 14th Marchioness of Los Palacios and Gracia Real and
