WI_afc024.jpg

View along the comparatively sunny S coast of Flores in W direction. Repeated landslides from the sheer cliffs have formed numerous platform-like features, such as the Fajã de Lopo Vaz shown in this photo. It is used for growing various types of crops, even bananas. However, the area is not permanently inhabited due to difficult access.
