Riaño is a town and municipality located along the Esla River in the mountains of the province of León, in the autonomous community of Castile and León, northern Spain. Located 1,100 metres above sea level, it is in the Cantabrian Mountains near the foothills of the Picos de Europa. The village is across the reservoir from Pico Gilbo.
Due to planned construction of a dam and reservoir in the 1980s, for flood control and generation of hydroelectric power, the village and its lowlying farmland were submerged, as were six other villages in the associated dam project. The residents were relocated to New Riaño, built as a replacement higher above the reservoir waters. In 2010 the village had 532 residents.

Suckling lamb in a wood-fired oven, with salad and local red wine.
Rice and onion, griddled until crisp.
Hard-paste Castilian cured cheese; with candeal bread and a young red.
Ribera, Toro, Bierzo: several serious wine appellations in the region.
Almost every village has its market day and its producers: the cheesemaker, the baker, the vegetable garden next door. Ask at the tourist office or the bar on the square; they'll tell you where to buy straight from the maker.
We haven't confirmed Riaño's market day. Every village has its own: better to ask than to make it up.
