Casau (pronounced ka-ZOW) is a small village located in the Vielha e Mijaran area of Catalonia, Spain. It's part of the Province of Lleida. In 2020, about 68 people lived there. Casau is known as a decentralized municipal entity, which means it's a small community that has some local control over its own affairs, even though it's part of a larger municipality.
Where is Casau?
Casau is located in the beautiful Val d'Aran, a valley in the Pyrenees mountains. It sits about 160 kilometers (about 100 miles) north of the city of Lleida. The village is quite high up, at an elevation of 1,130 meters (about 3,700 feet) above sea level. This high location means it often has cooler weather and lovely mountain views.
What is a Decentralized Municipal Entity?
A decentralized municipal entity, like Casau, is a special type of local government in Spain. It's a bit like a small town or village that has its own local council or board. This council can make decisions about things like local services, public spaces, and community events, even though it's still part of a bigger municipality (in this case, Vielha e Mijaran). This system helps smaller communities manage their unique needs and traditions.
