Menoio (Spanish: Menoyo) is a hamlet and concejo in the municipality of Ayala/Aiara, in Álava province, Basque Country, Spain. The neighborhoods of Barrutxi, Butarte, Mendia, El Pico and La Plazuela form the urban area of Menoio, also known locally as El Campo.[3]

History and landmarks

The first written reference to Menoio dates from 1114, in which a certain Senior Alvar López de Menoio was mentioned in the donation of the monastery of Obaldia in Madaria to San Millán.[3]

The sanctuary of Our Lady of Etxaurren, patron saint of the municipality, is on the foothills of mount Eskorieta [eu]. A small rural neighborhood centered around the sanctuary existed until the mid-20th century. The most notable civil building in Menoio is the palace of Santa Casilda, built in the late 17th century.[4]
