Presentation of Riaño

The municipality of Riaño (525 inhabitants in 2009; 9,763 ha) is located in the northeast of León Province, 90 km of León.

The building of the Riaño man-made lake caused in 1987 the flooding (indeed the destruction before flooding) of eight villages, including the original village of Riaño (Viejo Riaño / Old Riaño). The local opposition to the project culminated in July 1987 after a villager whose house had to be destroyed committed suicide; a street riot was suppressed by the police and ten people, including the mayor of Riaño, were jailed for a while (El País, 12 July 1987). Some 25 years later, the opponents have not given up; they recently asked for a decrease in the water level and the restoration of some pastures (Diario de León, 23 February 2010).
