About This Trend

Riaño is a municipality located in the province of León, in the autonomous community of Castile and León, Spain. The trend is about the controversy surrounding the demolition of the town, which was flooded in 1983 to build the Riaño Dam, a large hydroelectric dam on the Esla River. The controversy has sparked outrage and nostalgia among Spaniards, leading to a surge in tweets and online discussions about the town's history, its people, and the environmental and social impact of the dam's construction.
