Bujanda is a village in Álava, Basque Country, Spain. The parish church contains the incorrupt remains of {{Interlanguage link multi|San Fausto Labrador|es|3=Fausto Labrador}}, which has in the past given it some fame. At its largest, the village had around 150 inhabitants; but migration in the 1960s resulted in a great reduction in population. Its future is oriented towards culture, sports and ecology due to its proximity to Antoñana (a walled medieval village), the {{Interlanguage link multi|Nature Park of Izki|es|3=Parque Natural de Izki}}, greenways and mountain bike routes, hiking; as well as to very attractive areas such as {{Interlanguage link multi|Merindad de Estella|es}}, Treviño, Rioja and the {{Interlanguage link multi|Basque Coast|es|3=Costa Vasca}}.

Etymology

The place name appears as Buszanda for the first time in a document dated in the year 1071. Then, Buxanda appears in several records (such as the Record of Ordinances of Alava). Later the {{underline|x}} became in the modern sound j, which is the form used in the current official name (Bujanda). It may mean "place of boxwood" from the Latin buxus plus the locative suffix -anda.

Geography

Bujanda belongs orographically to the upper basin of the river Ega. It is situated {{convert|615|m|ft}} above sea level on the eastern slope of the Muela mountain ({{convert|1059|m|ft}}). Bujanda is located at the southern tip of the Nature Park of Izki. Bujanda is {{convert|7|km|mi|abbr=on}} from Santa Cruz de Campezo, capital of the municipality; {{convert|36|km|mi|abbr=on}} from Vitoria, capital of Alava; {{convert|35|km|mi|abbr=on}} from Estella, principal town of {{Interlanguage link multi|Merindad de Estella|es}}; and {{convert|40|km|mi|abbr=on}} from Logroño, capital of La Rioja.

Demographics

According to the census of 1960, Bujanda then had 97 inhabitants. But since that date the population has experienced a setback, falling by two-thirds in only fifteen years. The census of 1975 counted 34 people, and that was more than double the 16 of 2008: 11 men and 5 women, the lowest population to date. {{As of|2014}}, the latest available data, there are 19 people: 14 men and 5 women.

From the late sixteenth century (the earliest date when census data were recorded) until the mid-nineteenth century, the population generally increased; but from then on there has been a gradual decline, accentuated during the important agricultural transformation of the 1960s:

  • In the late sixteenth century: 75 people
  • In the late eighteenth century: 100 people
  • In the mid- nineteenth century: 150 people
  • In 1900: 124 people
  • In 1930: 113 people
  • In 1960: 97 people
  • In 2008: 16 people
  • In 2014: 19 people

Administrative arrangements

Bujanda has its own mayor, elected by the village inhabitants. The latest elections took place in December 2013, and the winning candidate received four votes.

Bujanda is part of the municipality of Campezo, together with Antoñana, Oteo, Orbiso and Santa Cruz de Campezo.

Festivals and customs

Prayers to San Fausto Labrador

According to chronicles of the historian {{Interlanguage link multi|Joaquín José de Landázuri y Romarate|es}},[1] San Fausto Labrador originally came from Alguaire, Lleida, Catalonia. He devoted himself to the poor and needy from his youth. He was taken prisoner by the Saracens during a voyage in the Mediterranean, and made slave to a master who beat him whenever he prayed. One day, the master was astonished to see the farm implements labouring of their own volition while the saint was at prayer. The saint baptised him, and the two of them travelled to Alguaire. When San Fausto was near death, he said to his relatives and friends: "after my death, lay my body on my horse, and the place to where God leads it, there you shall leave me." He must have died around the year 614. Relatives and friends obeyed his request, and the horse finally stopped at Bujanda.

The villages which offer prayers to San Fausto are:

  • Antoñana, San Roman, Corres and Bujanda (the Concord)
  • Rosselló (Lleida), after Easter
