One of my places in León

Embalse de Riaño (Mirador de Las Hazas)

Riaño

My pick
Dr. Abdulmajeed Al-MudarraMy tip
“Go at sunset or in the morning to avoid the queue for the swing. In summer you can take a tourist boat or a kayak on the reservoir.”

A reservoir among the peaks of the Picos de Europa in León, resembling the Norwegian fjords. The old town of Riaño was submerged beneath it in 1987. From the Las Hazas platform the famous swing stretches over one of the most beautiful views in Spain.

Easy to reach, needs a car

A viewpoint on the N-625 road above Riaño, with a parking spot beside it and a short walk. Services in Riaño. Winding mountain roads.
