Fajã
text:
Fajã is a Portuguese term of obscure origin used to describe supratidal talus at the foot of coastal cliffs, caused by landslides or lava flows. Although relatively common world-wide, they are distinctive features of the Azores and Madeira, as well as of the Canary Islands, where the equivalent term in Canarian Spanish is fajana. The term also designates a small flat piece of land, generally cultivable and located by the sea, formed of materials fallen from cliffs.
