New literary works explore Spanish regional history and traditions

Authors Sergio Tierno and Íñigo Alberto Íñigo have released ‘112 citas entre Urbión y Cebollera’, a follow-up to their previous work documenting the legends, traditions, and landscapes of the Soria and La Rioja regions. The project involved three years of fieldwork and local interviews to capture stories from areas such as the Pinares region, the Duero river, and the Cameros mountains.

In a separate literary release, Emilio Gancedo has presented ‘Riaño: El Estado contra la Montaña’. The book investigates the historical impact of the flooding of several localities in the province of León, including Riaño, Anciles, and Huelde. The work examines the loss of identity and property for approximately ten thousand residents following hydrological policy changes, framing the event as a destruction of a specific way of life.
