Huerta de Rey is a Spanish municipality and town located in the province of Burgos, in the Sierra de la Demanda mountain range. Historically, it is known for being listed in the Guinness Book of World Records due to the large number of unusual names among its inhabitants, a tradition that originated in the early 20th century to distinguish people with common surnames.
