There is more than one theory on the origin, but in contemporary usage estar en Babia means to be distracted / fooled (to not know what is happening around you).

What I found on Google:
The Babia region is in Castile and León, in the northwest of the province of León, and includes the municipalities of Cabrilanes and San Emiliano.
The origin of the expression goes back to the old monarchs of León and Asturias, who liked to spend long periods in Babia enjoying the peace and beauty of the surroundings, far away from matters of court.
Here we say "he's in La-La Land."
