Caicedo-Sopeña is a very small village, often called a hamlet, located in the Ribera Alta/Erriberagoitia area. It's part of the Álava province in the Basque Country, Spain. In 2020, only 32 people lived there, making it a quiet and peaceful community. It's also known as a "council" (or concejo in Spanish), which is a type of local government unit.
Where is Caicedo-Sopeña?
Caicedo-Sopeña is located in a beautiful part of Spain. It sits about 26 kilometers (that's about 16 miles) west-southwest of Vitoria-Gasteiz. Vitoria-Gasteiz is the capital city of the Álava province and the Basque Country. This means Caicedo-Sopeña is close enough to a bigger city for supplies but far enough away to be very calm and surrounded by nature.
What is a Council (Concejo)?
In some parts of Spain, especially in places like Álava, a "council" (or concejo) is a small area with its own local government. It's like a tiny town or village that has some power to make decisions for its community. This is different from a larger "municipality" which might include many villages or councils. Caicedo-Sopeña is one of these special councils within the bigger municipality of Ribera Alta/Erriberagoitia.
Life in a Small Village
With only 32 people, Caicedo-Sopeña is a very close-knit community. Life in such a small village is often quiet and peaceful.
