Where is Quintanilla?
Quintanilla is found in the western part of the Álava province. It is about 56 kilometers (around 35 miles) west of Vitoria-Gasteiz. Vitoria-Gasteiz is the capital city of the Basque Country. This means Quintanilla is quite far from big cities, surrounded by nature.
What is a Council?
In some parts of Spain, like Álava, a "council" (or concejo in Spanish) is a small local government area. It's like a tiny community that manages its own local affairs. Even though Quintanilla is very small, it still has its own council. This helps the people living there make decisions about their village.
