Babia
Babia stands out for the serenity that pervades its valleys and mountains, clad in seemingly endless pasturelands, the tranquillity surrounding the source of the rivers Luna and Sil, and the vast expanse of horizon dotted with snow-capped peaks. This is a landscape boasting a magnificent environmental heritage that has been shaped by humans over the centuries.
This land is where the well-known expression "estar en Babia" comes from (the Spanish equivalent of ‘having your head in the clouds’), which throughout the Spanish-speaking world is used to refer to a person who is distracted and apparently unaware of what is going on.
