The Cerca de Villaño (Basque: Villañoko esparrua[2]) is a small exclave belonging to Orduña, itself an exclave of Biscay (a province of the Basque Country, Spain). It is located in Villaño, a hamlet in Valle de Losa, Burgos. Its area and limits aren't known with certainty, and due to its small size and obscurity it isn't shown in most maps.[3]
The early history of the enclave is unclear, but it was part of Orduña by the early sixteenth century.[1] The municipal authorities of Orduña used to visit the exclave regularly until 1951 in order to check the border markers.[4] Around the same time, in 1950, the few inhabitants of the enclave were registered as inhabitants of Valle de Losa, and the exclave fell into obscurity.[5]
In 2015, a member of the Juntas Generales of Biscay requested the Biscayan government to reaffirm the exclave's status as part of Biscay, but his proposal was rejected.[6] In 2022, the municipality of Orduña started the procedures to survey the exclave and include it in its urban planning documentation.[7]
