picture info	Riaño, León Riaño is a town and former municipality located along the Esla River in the mountains of the province of León, in the autonomous community of Castile and León, northern Spain. Located 1,100 metres above sea level, it is in the Cantabrian mountains near the foothills of the Picos de Europa. The village is across the reservoir from Pico Gilbo.

picture info	Hermandad De Campoo De Suso Santa Hermandad (, "holy brotherhood") was a type of military peacekeeping association of armed individuals, which became characteristic of municipal life in medieval Spain, especially in Castile. Modern hermandades in Spain, some of which evolved from medieval origins, are now for the most part religious confraternities retaining only a military structure and ethos. Background As medieval Iberian kings of León, Castile, and Aragon were often unable to maintain public peace, protective municipal leagues began to emerge in the twelfth century against bandits and other rural criminals, as well as against the lawless nobility or mobilized to support a claimant to the crown. These organizations were individually temporary, but became a long-standing fixture of Spain. The first recorded case of the formation of an ''hermandad'' occurred when the towns and the peasantry of the north united to police the pilgrim road to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, and to protect the pilgri ...
