Origins

Su nombre pertenece a la misma serie de topónimos acabados en -iego de la zona, como Samaniego o Elciego, y que parece ser el mismo sufijo de voces castellanas como palaciego, veraniego, etc, sin que esté claro cuál es el primer componente en este caso.

History

Lanciego (in Basque Lantziego), located in Rioja Alavesa, settles on a relatively flat area, in a small vale at the feet of the Cantabrian Sierra. It is watered by several creeks and is surrounded by lush vineyards from which the majority of local income is made. From its origin until the year 1630 it was a part of the jurisdiction of Laguardia, and in 1630 it obtained the title of town.

The first documented appearance of the municipality is in the year 1257 and in 1366 its demographic information is first documented, being a part of the kingdom of Navarre.
