    The region is known for its azure reservoir (Embalse de Riaño) and the rugged limestone peaks often called the "Spanish Fjords".

    Hiking

    The Valcayo Viewpoint, also known as the Alto Valcayo Viewpoint, is one of the most impressive panoramic points in Riaño, in the province of León. Located next to the Las Hazas Viewpoint and the famous Riaño Swing, it forms a trio of ideal spots for enjoying nature and taking spectacular photos.

    Hiking

    The views that you will have from this viewpoint seem to have come out of a fairy tale. Wonderful panoramic views of the entire Riaño reservoir, the Gilbo peak behind and the entire landscape of the Leonese fjords, worthy of a postcard.
