Location:

This "Bora Bora" is situated in a secluded area of Vila Verde de Ficalho, in the municipality of Serpa. It is a place nestled among gentle elevations, characteristic of the Alentejo landscape, and opens up to an unobstructed view of fields and cork oaks. Its position, slightly set apart from the main village houses, lends it an atmosphere of quietude and privacy, integrated into its rural surroundings.

A Refuge of Water and Calm:

This peculiar spot earned its informal name, "Bora Bora", due to the uniqueness of its waters. At the heart of this space, there is a stream that forms small and clear natural lagoons, where the water reflects the Alentejo sky, creating hues that vary between blue and emerald green. The dense vegetation along its banks, composed of willows and poplars, offers shade and coolness, a refreshing contrast to the region's dry heat. It is a place that invites quiet observation of nature and rest.

The Harmony of the Landscape:

The atmosphere of "Bora Bora" is marked by a profound serenity, where the sounds of nature dominate. The whisper of the wind among the trees, the song of birds, and the gentle murmur of the water contribute to an atmosphere of peace. The surrounding landscape is an example of the rural beauty of Alentejo, with its golden fields in summer and vibrant greens in spring. This balance between the rural vastness and the more intimate water spot makes "Bora Bora" a special place, a true sanctuary where one can enjoy the quietude and simplicity of the natural environment.

History and Local Charm:

Although it does not boast grand monuments, "Bora Bora" has a history linked to the daily life of the Vila Verde de Ficalho community. For generations, it was a reference point for local inhabitants, a place for gathering and leisure on summer afternoons. The name, probably attributed with a touch of humor and affection by the locals, reflects the perception that this is a small hidden paradise, a place where natural beauty inspires a sense of well-being. Its simplicity and charm lie precisely in its authenticity and the intimate connection it maintains with the pulse of the Alentejo land.
