Banana Republic?
Slopes like this one in Camara de Lobos are a common sight in Madeira. They are very steep, terraced and a forest of banana plants. It's hard to tell which slopes are gardens and which are parts of farms, but the total banana crop must be mid-boggling. This might explain the local delicacy of scabbard fish with bananas. A novel combination that tastes a lot better than it sounds.
