The Cuadrilla de Vitoria (Basque: Gasteizko kuadrilla) is a comarca of the province of Álava, Basque Country, Spain. It is conterminous with the municipality of Vitoria-Gasteiz. Unlike the other cuadrillas, it doesn't have its own institutions,[citation needed] being mostly symbolic.[2] The mayor of Vitoria-Gasteiz holds the ex officio position of president of the council of the cuadrilla.[3] The Cuadrilla de Añana was part of the Cuadrilla de Vitoria until 1840.[4]
