Where is Quejana?
Quejana is located about 48 kilometers (which is about 30 miles) northwest of Vitoria-Gasteiz. Vitoria-Gasteiz is the capital city of the Álava province. This means Quejana is surrounded by nature, far from the noise of big cities. The village sits at an elevation of 323 meters (about 1,060 feet) above sea level. This higher location often means cooler temperatures and beautiful views of the surrounding landscape.
What is a Council?
Quejana is known as a "council" (concejo in Spanish). In some parts of Spain, like Álava, a council is a small local area or village that has its own basic local government. It's a bit like a tiny town or parish. These councils often manage their own local affairs, even though they are part of a larger municipality, like Aiara in Quejana's case. This system helps small communities keep their unique traditions and manage their daily lives.
Life in Quejana
With only 39 residents, Quejana is a very small community. Life there is likely quiet and close-knit. People living in such small villages often know each other well and help each other out. The pace of life is much slower than in a city. Residents might enjoy the natural beauty and peaceful surroundings. Small villages like Quejana are important because they preserve local culture and history.
