Entzia

Entzia is a village located in the province of Álava, in the Basque Country of northern Spain. It is situated in the municipality of Asparaz, in the Cuartango valley. The village is characterized by its rural setting, surrounded by natural landscapes typical of the region, including rolling hills and wooded areas.

Historically, Entzia, like many small villages in Álava, has an agricultural background. Its economy and way of life were traditionally tied to farming and livestock. Over time, like many rural areas in Spain, it has seen a demographic shift, with a decrease in population as younger generations have moved to more urban centers. However, efforts are often made to preserve the cultural heritage and traditional architecture of such villages.

The village's location in the Cuartango valley makes it a point of interest for those seeking a quieter, more natural environment. Nearby attractions and natural parks offer opportunities for hiking and outdoor activities. The architectural style of Entzia reflects the traditional Basque rural house, often built with local stone. While it is a small community, it maintains a distinct identity within the broader context of Álava's cultural landscape. Its proximity to Vitoria-Gasteiz, the provincial capital, allows residents access to services and amenities while retaining a rural lifestyle.
