Fajã dos Tijolos

The Fajã dos Tijolos (Portuguese for "debris field of the bricks") is a permanent debris field, built from the collapsing cliffs on the northern coast of the civil parish of Ribeira Seca, in the municipality of Calheta, island of São Jorge, in the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores. Fajã dos Tijolos is located along a narrow trail that links Fajã do Belo and Fajã da Caldeira de Santo Cristo, but was also linked by a lagoon that connected the two fajãs. Owing to the geodynamic nature of the coast, the lagoon became divided in two and eventually dried-up.
