A Bit of History
Askartza has an interesting past! It is one of 43 villages that became part of the city of Vitoria at different times. This happened a long time ago. Later, in 1840, a group of villages called Cuadrilla de Añana decided to separate and form their own area. But Askartza chose to stay with the Cuadrilla de Vitoria, which means it remained connected to the larger Vitoria area.
