estar en las batuecas
  27

Verbal speech. Las batuecas is a natural landscape of great beauty tour of the Batuecas River basin of the Tagus River in the mountains of France to the South of the province of Salamanca and the North of Cáceres. About this area wrote Lope de Vega in the 16th century a comedy titled Las Batuecas del Duque of Alba describing it as a happy Arcadia where the batuecos live ignorant of all foreign and isolated from the world. Since then this ignorance in this phrase became proverbial " be on the batuecas " as a synonym for being in the inopia, without knowledge or information which one surrounds him.
