Über den Ort
Espargos grew around runways rather than beaches, creating a working inland capital detached from resort tourism.
Italian authorities initially laid out the airstrip to service transatlantic flights between Europe and South America, after which Portuguese administrators took over the installations. Construction workers arriving from Sao Nicolau founded the settlement of Preguica beside the runways, transforming an isolated desert crossroads into the civic capital of the island. Today municipal administration and commerce concentrate here.

Island transit revolves around shared Hiace minivans that gather outside the municipal hall and leave as soon as every seat fills. Commuters use these vehicles to reach the coastal harbor at Palmeira and the southern resorts, keeping small coins on hand because drivers rarely carry change. Day-to-day purchases demand physical currency, as electronic payment remains confined to larger grocery stores.
