A valley, especially in Spanish-speaking regions. A low area of land between hills or mountains, typically with a river flowing through it.
From Spanish and Italian valle, from Latin vallis meaning valley. The Latin root is related to the verb volvere (to roll), suggesting the rolling nature of valley terrain.
Valle appears in countless place names across Latin America and Spain, from Valle de México to Valle d'Aosta in Italy. The word connects us to ancient Roman observations about landscape that still shape how we name places today.
