Within the Spanish legal framework, the general name for such sub-municipal units is minor local entity (formally in Spanish: entidad de ámbito territorial inferior al municipio, lit. 'entity of sub-municipal territorial scope' also known by their acronym EATIMs).[4][5]
The existence of concejos in Álava is documented since the 13th century.[6][7] Their current status dates from 1984, when a law providing for elections to the concejos was passed;[8] and from 1995, when their juridical status was clarified.[9]

Notes
- Before the dissolution of the concejo of Guinea, the number was also reported as being 333[2] or 334,[3] depending on whether Arriaga and Eskibel were included or not. Arriaga is depopulated and has been absorbed into Vitoria-Gasteiz, but is still officially listed as a concejo. Similarly, Eskibel has 2 inhabitants as of 2021, and is sometimes omitted from the list.
