Village · Carrión de los Céspedes, Aljarafe, Seville

Municipality of 2,647 inhabitants (INE 2025), at 88 m altitude and 36 km from Seville. Born as an Islamic hamlet, after Ferdinand III's conquest in 1248 the hamlet of Carrión was granted in the 1252 land distribution to the Military Order of Calatrava, becoming known as Carrión de los Ajos; in 1576 Philip II sold its jurisdiction to the nobleman Gonzalo de Céspedes, whose lineage gave the municipality its current name.
