Revuelta was born in Burgos in Castile and León.^[1] He graduated in architecture from the University of Navarre.^[2]

In 1991, Revuelta was elected to the city council in Logroño, representing the People's Party (PP). From 1994, he led them in the chamber, and from 1995 to 2000 he was deputy mayor to José Luis Bermejo [es], then succeeding him.^[3]

Works from Revuelta's mandate included the Gran Vía Juan Carlos I throughfare.^[2] His party won the plurality of seats in the 2007 election, but the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) and the Riojan Party (PR+) formed a pact and installed Tomás Santos [es] as mayor; Revuelta resigned his council seat as a result.^[4]

In March 2011, in the run-up to local elections, Revuelta left the PP and founded Ciudadanos de Logroño. In his leaving letter, he accused the president of the People's Party of La Rioja and President of La Rioja, Pedro Sanz, of not attempting a pact that would have kept the party in control of the regional capital in 2007.^[4]

Ciudadanos de Logroño merged into PR+ in January 2012.^[5] In June 2017, former Ciudadanos de Logroño member Rubén Antoñanzas was elected president of PR+, and Revuelta was named secretary general.^[6]

In the 2019 Riojan regional election, Antoñanzas declined to run as PR+'s list leader, instead opting to do so for the local election in Logroño, so Revuelta led the list at regional level.^[7] The party ran a joint list with Union, Progress and Democracy (UPyD).^[8] The list did not win a seat in the Parliament of La Rioja.^[9]

In November 2024, Revuelta was one of the previous four mayors to be awarded the Gold Medal of the City of Logroño.^[10]
