Vila Franca de Xira thrives on the beginnings of the River Tagus estuary. The Tagus is the longest river in the Iberian Peninsula, and the Tagus Estuary Nature Reserve is an important pit stop for migratory birds. Vila Franca de Xira is home to the campinos (Ribatejo cowboys) who look after the bulls and horses the area is known for. You can learn more about the tradition of breeding and fighting bulls from the Morgado Lusitan and Centro Equestre da Lezíria Grande. If you are visiting in June, join the Festa do Colete Encarnado, the Red Waistcoat Festival, which celebrates local culture with social gatherings, livestock riding, and bull runs.
