This hill is named after the Count's Head after a legend. In the times of the Goths, these lands belonged to Count Don Julián, governor of Ceuta, who was accused of treason after providing the maps for the entry of the Arabs into the Iberian Peninsula, something he did as revenge for the injury caused to his daughter. . Apparently Don Rodrigo, king of the Goths, was captivated by the beauty of his daughter, Florinda, and took advantage of her carelessness while bathing in the Tagus, to insult her. This fact provoked the anger of Don Julián who sought revenge on the Christian king, so he led the Arab army to the battle of Guadalete, where the last Gothic king, Don Rodrigo, died.
A few of the king's knights, upon seeing the betrayal, pursued Count Don Julián, who was overtaken and taken prisoner in this area, where they cut off his head, giving the place the name Cabeza del Conde.
