High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Vale de Figueira is a village with almost 2,000 people, close to Santarém, the capital city of its region, Ribatejo, in Portugal. It sits on a valley, parallel to the Bela Vista plateau, being famous for the mouth of the river Alviela, a tributary of Tagus river, inserted on the diversity of colours which, all combined, create a pictoresque landscape. It is a land of campinos (the regional name given to the cattle herders), horses, bulls and nature that help making Vale de Figueira a unique place in the Ribatejo region. The village is rich in the production of vine and cereals. Opinions differ, but most believe the origin of the name Vale de Figueira comes from the no-longer existing coating of fig trees that used to cover the area. Still, its foundation is believed to be from the Roman Empire times and the village was always considered one of the portuguese kings' favourite places to visit, stay and rest, being Ferdinand I of Portugal and Manuel I of Portugal two of the biggest fans.
