The municipality of La Ercina (584 inhabitants in 2009; 10,502 ha; municipal website) is located in the northeast of León Province, 60 km of León. The municipality is made of the 14 villages of La Acisa de las Arrimadas, Barrillos de las Arrimadas, El Corral de las Arrimadas, Santa Colomba de las Arrimadas, Laiz de las Arrimadas, Sobrepeña, La Ercina (capital), Oceja, Yugueros, San Pedro de Foncollada, La Serna, Fresnedo y Palacio de Valdellorma, and Valporquero de Rueda.

La Ercina is a coal-mining village (website). From 1937 to 1963, 17 accidents claimed 52 lives; among them, the firedamp explosion that broke out on 10 June 1954 killed 14 miners, known as "the 14 from Ercina".
The five villages of La Acisa de las Arrimadas, Barrillos de las Arrimadas, El Corral de las Arrimadas, Santa Colomba de las Arrimadas and Laiz de las Arrimadas formed the domain of Las Arrimadas, owned by the Bishop of León. For more than 500 years, the five villages have been managing together a mount declared of common interest.
