Description
Part of the North Shore where the mountain range called Serra do Mar receded left room to an immense and fertile plain, which provided the King of England’s subjects and, say, the King himself part of their breakfast for decades. An English farm in the local universe (called Caiçara) tells the story of a huge rural area located in Caraguatatuba, northern coast of São Paulo and which had the same number of inhabitants than the city during its high season production. With care and efficiency tons of bananas and grapefruit were produced there: the one similar to the orange that has a red pulp and tastes more bitter, and that was an indispensable part of his Majesty the King’s breakfast in his lands.
