Os Pachorras

Alentejo

‘Pachorra’ means patience.
The word conveys the ability to endure challenges, discomfort, and hardship with calm and resilience. A group of motorcycling friends adopted it as the name of their club. Now, it stands boldly in the Alentejo landscape—a gentle reminder for all who travel through.
