Location

The Public Garden is located in the tranquil locality of São Vicente e Ventosa, a parish that is part of the municipality of Elvas, in the district of Portalegre. Situated in the heart of a predominantly rural Alentejo environment, this garden constitutes a serene and accessible stop within the urban fabric of the small village. Its location invites a moment of pause, offering a verdant contrast to the surrounding landscape, characterized by the vast plain and the traditional architecture of the region.

It is a space that harmoniously integrates into the community's life, functioning as a green lung in the center of the locality, easily reachable for those exploring its quiet streets and wishing to immerse themselves in the calm rhythm of Alentejo life.

Natural Haven

This Public Garden is distinguished by its natural composition, offering a welcoming and fresh environment. It is filled with a variety of plant species, from trees that provide generous shade on the hottest days of the Alentejo, to flowerbeds that can display diverse flora, depending on the season. The presence of carefully maintained vegetation contributes to air quality and an atmosphere of tranquility, inviting contemplation and relaxation.

It is a testament to the valorization of green space in more rural areas, where nature is felt more strongly and silence is sometimes only broken by the sound of leaves in the wind or the chirping of birds.
