Nestled among high meadows and silent mountains, the Órbigo River is born from the confluence of the Luna and Omaña rivers, two streams that meet near La Magdalena, in the province of León. There are no grand waterfalls or monuments, only the murmur of the water merging beneath an old bridge. Locals say that here the river "learns to speak," and anyone who stops to listen understands why: its sound is the beginning of many stories that will unfold down the valley.
