Discovering Añes
Añes is a charming little community. It is often called a hamlet because of its small size. Even though it's tiny, it plays a part in the local government system.
Where is Añes?
Añes is located about 55 kilometers (which is roughly 34 miles) to the west-northwest of Vitoria-Gasteiz. Vitoria-Gasteiz is the capital city of the Álava province. This location places Añes in a lovely natural setting within the Basque Country.
What is a 'Council'?
In some parts of Spain, like Álava, a council (or concejo in Spanish) is a small local area. It's a bit like a tiny town or village that has its own local government. This allows the people living there to manage some of their own community affairs.
