Located approximately 485 km from the capital, the city originated from an engineers' camp for the Sorocabana Railway and grew around a small chapel, becoming a municipality in 1965. The name comes from a common bee in the region, called "borá" by the indigenous people. The episode shows how the administration of such a small municipality works, with a mayor, vice-mayor, and nine councilors, the minimum number allowed by the Constitution. Most of the revenue comes from the Municipal Participation Fund, since local tax collection is limited. The economy revolves around the Ibéria sugar mill, the city hall, agriculture, and small businesses. Matheus talks to long-time residents, visits the health unit, schools, and leisure spaces, showing how the proximity between people facilitates the functioning of public services. The city stands out for its cleanliness, safety, and tranquil pace. The episode also shows the municipal bathing area, the central square, and a local tradition: preparing pork in a large pot on the sidewalk, bringing the community together around food and conversation. In Borá, simplicity reveals how community life is still possible. 🍀 Highlights: Third smallest city in Brazil with less than a thousand inhabitants How the city hall works in a small municipality Economy based on the sugar mill, agriculture, and public service Tradition of "porco no tacho" (pork in a pot) bringing the community together Clean, safe city with a peaceful life in the interior of São Paulo 🔑 Keywords: Borá SP, smallest city in Brazil, interior of São Paulo, small town, life in the countryside, municipalities of Brazil, Boa Sorte Viajante #Borá #InteriorDeSP #BoaSorteViajante ===================== WHO IS MATHEUS BOA SORTE? I am passionate about the cultural traditions of the Brazilian Northeast. To be more specific, the sertão (backlands), which I defend as being much more than just a part of Brazil that doesn't get much rain. For me, the backlands are a feeling, a state of mind, of those who carry within themselves a smile, faith, persistence, courage, and a little bit of cunning. I'm an advertising professional by academic training, and I pay my bills through art. I'm a singer, songwriter, writer, speaker, educator, actor, TV presenter, radio broadcaster... A lot, right? But I summarize all of that in just one profession: I AM A STORYTELLER.
