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 [es]).[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]
