The unexpected death of Peñacerrada's mayor, Juan José Betolaza, last year led to the cancellation of the Tierras Esparsas plenary session that was scheduled to take place in the town. This Sunday, however, the municipality has revived this significant institutional gathering.

The General Assemblies of Álava session serves as a crucial forum for governance and political debate within the territory. This year's meeting in Peñacerrada brought together representatives and citizens, underscoring the commitment to maintaining these democratic traditions.
