Treviño enclave dispute

The two municipalities which make up the enclave, Condado de Treviño and La Puebla de Arganzón, have at various times sought to join Álava,[7] and the inhabitants of the two towns have also campaigned to join the Basque Country.[8]
History
Treviño was officially founded in 1161 by King Sancho VI of Navarre on the site of a monastery.[9] and became part of the Kingdom of Castile in 1201, following a military victory by King Alfonso VIII of Castile over the Navarrans.[10]
When
Following this legislation, three unsuccessful attempts were made to incorporate the area into Álava. In 1880, the two municipalities covering Treviño requested that they be transferred from Burgos to Álava, while the inhabitants of the enclave requested their transfer in 1940 and 1958.[12]
Position of Álava and the Treviño enclave
Most of the main political parties in Álava are in favour of adding the Treviño enclave to their territory. Modern votes on Treviño's status date from the 1940 referendum in Treviño, where 98% of the population voted to join Álava. Several further attempts have occurred since then. In 1980, both municipalities of the enclave overwhelmingly voted in support of an incorporation into Álava; some time before, UCD representatives in the councils had been removed from their positions for supporting the incorporation.[13]
In 1998, in another unofficial referendum, 68% of voters in the exclave were in favour of holding an official referendum on joining Álava. 76% of voters took part.[14] The municipality of La Puebla de Arganzón voted in 1995 and 1997 to join Álava.[14] The majority of political parties in Treviño are in favour of joining Álava, with the authorities of the enclave requesting the initiation of proceedings leading to their incorporation into Álava in 2013.[15] Their reasons are usually the regular historic bonds, cultural idiosyncrasy, commercial links and the practical grounds of better links with Álava rather than Burgos.[16][17]
Position of Burgos
In contrast, all political groupings in Burgos have defended the enclave remaining part of their territory, on both legal and historic grounds.[18]
