The conflict over the Treviño enclave is a territorial dispute in northern Spain between the administration of the Province of Burgos and Castile and León on the one side, and those of Álava and the Basque Country on the other, over the administration of the territory. The conflict does not only involve territorial questions, but also extends to political and language issues, as well as questions about provision of services and transport connections.
Geographically, the enclave is situated inside the Province of Álava, which completely surrounds it. However, administratively, it belongs to the Province of Burgos. The territory is near the large Basque city of Vitoria-Gasteiz, with over 250,000 inhabitants, while the nearest urban center in Burgos province is Miranda de Ebro, with about 40,000 inhabitants. The enclave holds cultural, commercial and linguistic links with the neighbouring Álava province. According to a Burgos newspaper, in a legal sense there is no territorial dispute, since Treviño's status as part of Castile and León is long established. However, Treviño has been subject to heated political dispute during the last decades, including legal litigation at the highest level.
The two municipalities which make up the enclave, Condado de Treviño and La Puebla de Arganzón, have at various times sought to join Álava, and the inhabitants of the two towns have also campaigned to join the Basque Country.
