Las Cabezas de San Juan.

Perched on top of one of the hills (cabezas) dotting the arable fields of La Campiña is this town, which overlooks the Guadalquivir wetlands and the Doñana Natural Park to the east. Presiding over Las Cabezas de San Juan is the colourful Baroque church of San Juan Bautista.

The town's claim to political fame is that it was the scene of the 1820 rebellion, led by General Riego, against Fernando VII's absolute monarchy. The house used by General Riego stands next to the Iglesia de San Juan Bautista.

Just outside Las Cabezas de San Juan is the luxurious Hacienda de San Rafael, a former olive farm with a beautiful patio filled with bright bougainvillaea (please see our accommodation section)
