Peña Ubiña, Mountain summit in Cordillera Cantabrica, Spain.
Rising to 2,417 meters above sea level, Peña Ubiña forms a natural border between the regions of Asturias and Castile and León.
Medieval Spanish kings frequented the Babia region surrounding Peña Ubiña, leading to the phrase 'estar en Babia' in Spanish language.
The mountain's name potentially originates from the word 'ovina', reflecting the historical presence of sheep migrations through ancient livestock routes.
The ascent includes a 50-minute hike to Meicín refuge followed by a technical climb that requires manual support but no ropes.
The mountain holds rank number six among 11,438 peaks in Castile and León, with a prominence of 1,122 meters above surrounding terrain.
