Patos, Commercial center in Paraíba, Brazil
Patos sits in the Espinharas River valley at 242 meters elevation, framed by the Borborema Plateau and the Sertanejo pediplain in northeastern Brazil. The town spreads between low vegetation and scattered tree clusters that reflect the dry climate of the region.
The settlement began in 1788 as part of the Parish of Nossa Senhora do Bom Sucesso de Pombal and developed into a trading post for surrounding farms. In 1903 it gained status as an independent municipality.
The name comes from the wild ducks that once lived along the river, while today the town serves as a regional trading hub with markets and shops. Residents gather in public squares where life concentrates in the evening.
The BR-230 highway links the town with larger settlements in the region, while Brigadeiro Firmino Ayres Airport offers flights to nearby destinations. Streets in the center are busy during the day and quieter at night.
The climate is tropical hot semi-arid with three rainy months between February and April, while the remaining nine months stay dry. This pattern shapes the look of the landscape and the rhythm of daily life.
