This municipality is found in the Álava province, which is part of the Basque Country in northern Spain. In 2020, only 26 people lived in Villabezana, making it a very quiet and small community!
Where is Villabezana?
Villabezana is located in a beautiful part of Spain. It sits about 34 kilometers (which is about 21 miles) to the west-southwest of Vitoria-Gasteiz. Vitoria-Gasteiz is a much larger city and is the capital of the Álava province. This means Villabezana is in the countryside, but it's not too far from a main city where people can find more services and activities. The area around Villabezana is known for its natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere.
What is a Council?
A "council" or concejo in places like Álava is a special type of local government. It's smaller than a full municipality. Think of it like a small neighborhood or village that has some power to manage its own local matters. This system helps small communities like Villabezana have a say in how their local area is run. It's a way for people in tiny villages to work together on things that matter to them.
