    Valada is one of the eight parishes in the Municipality of Cartaxo, and is also one of the oldest. According to historians, the Romans were the first farmers in the Valada field, however it was during Arab rule that the first documents appeared making reference to their uber rich land.

    The ex-libris of the parish is the Tagus River, with its surrounding space of great beauty, its river beach, picnic area and camping site. A meeting place, par excellence, for outsiders who visit the parish.

    As a heritage, Valada is proud of its church dating back to 1211, during the reign of Dom Afonso II. Losing part of its beauty, after the restoration in 1962, its patron saint is Nossa Senhora da Espectação do Ó.
