It is bordered by the provinces of Burgos, La Rioja, Navarra, Guipúzcoa, and Biscay. Within Álava is Treviño, an enclave which is part of Burgos province, Castile and León, although there is some support for Treviño joining the Basque Community. The capital of Álava is Vitoria-Gasteiz (Vitoria is the Spanish name, Gasteiz the Basque name), which also serves as the capital of the autonomous community.
