Another try based on
https://make.wordpress.org/core/2014/08/29/a-more-powerful-order-by-in-wordpress-4-0/

<?php
$news_cat_ID = get_cat_ID( 'Datos de Contacto' ); 
$news_cats   = get_categories( "parent=$news_cat_ID" );

    foreach ( $news_cats as $news_cat ) :
        $news_query = new WP_Query( array(
            'cat'                 => $news_cat->term_id,
            'posts_per_page'      => 1,
            'no_found_rows'       => true,
            'ignore_sticky_posts' => true,
            'meta_key'   => 'region_contacto',
            'orderby' => array( 'meta_value_num' => 'ASC', 'modified' => 'DESC' )

        ));
?>
<?php while ( $news_query->have_posts() ) : $news_query->the_post() ?>

Not sure what to try next..
