Orduña-Urduña, Municipality in Biscay, Spain

Orduña-Urduña stands as a distinct exclave of Biscay province, nestled in a plain within the Nervión river valley at the base of Sierra Salvada mountains.

Established in 1229, this municipality became a strategic settlement that influenced regional development through its position between Biscay and the provinces of Álava and Burgos.

The municipality maintains both Basque and Spanish as official languages, representing the linguistic traditions of northern Spain within its administrative boundaries.

The C-3 commuter rail line connects residents directly to Bilbao, while the municipality maintains essential services across its 33.49 square kilometers of territory.

This exclave municipality sits completely surrounded by the provinces of Álava and Burgos, creating a geographical singularity within the Basque administrative structure.
