Burguillos

Burguillos is a town situated where the flat, agricultural plains of the Vega del Guadalquivir meet the rising foothills of the Sierra Morena in northern Seville. It functions as a gateway to the mountainous north, a fact that has shaped its landscape and local culture.

Its identity is rooted in agriculture and a history stretching back through Visigoth and Moorish periods, evidenced by the discovery of an ancient Almohad necropolis nearby. The community maintains a strong connection to its traditional past, even while its proximity to Seville has made it a convenient home base for commuters.

Architecturally, the town is anchored by the Iglesia de San Cristóbal Mártir, a church built in the Mudéjar style, showcasing the unique blend of Christian and Moorish design common to this part of Andalucía.

Burguillos offers a quiet, unpretentious atmosphere where outdoor activity is favored; the surrounding landscape of dehesas (grazing lands) and hills invites hiking and exploration. The local gastronomy reflects this natural setting, specializing in dishes featuring small game and hearty stews, embodying the simple, grounded character of this Sevillian town.
