Álvaro de Aguilar y Gómez-Acebo (28 December 1892 – 22 February 1974[1]) was a Spanish diplomatic and sports leader who is best known for being the secretary of the Spanish Olympic Committee between 1916 and 1919 and the sixth president of Atlético Madrid between 1919 and 1920.[2][3]
Álvaro de Aguilar was born on 28 December 1892 in Madrid, as the third son of Alfonso de Aguilar y Pereira (1858–1928), the first Count of Aguilar, and Manuela Gómez-Acebo y Cortina,[1][3] paternal great-aunt of Margarita Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
In 1921, he married Montserrat Castro y Lombillo, who has been described as "arrogant in figure", being sponsored by the bride's mother and the groom's father, Count of Aguilar.[4] The couple had at least four children Paloma, África, Carmen, and Cayetano de Aguilar y Castro.[1]
