Sobre o local
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.
Associações
- Aviation heritage
- Shared Hiace minivans

Factos
- The Italian government initiated construction of the local airport as a transatlantic refueling stop before the facility passed to Portuguese control.
- Shared passenger vans linking the settlement to Santa Maria and Palmeira depart from the square fronting the municipal hall.
- Registering a local mobile network SIM card requires presenting an official passport.
- The civilian district of Preguica was named by migrant laborers after a coastal harbor settlement on their home island of Sao Nicolau.
