Beotegi (which is Beotegui in Spanish) is a tiny village, also known as a hamlet, located in the beautiful Basque Country in Spain. It's part of a larger area called the municipality of Ayala/Aiara in the province of Álava. Beotegi is so small that it teams up with its nearby neighbor, Menagarai, to form a special local group called a concejo named Menagarai-Beotegi. This concejo helps manage local matters for both villages.
