Well, I forgot to add the link to the original National Geographic picture 'A staircase of fields on a hillside, Madeira, 1959': external link
The hill changed a lot since then.

mummin has had the right idea. I now found the excact location. This picture shows terraced fields (aka Poios) at the southern part of Madeira island, Portugal.
The church on the upper left is 'Nossa Senhora da Graça (aka Igreja Matriz do Estreito)' at Rua Cónego Agostinho Figueira de Faria, 23-29 - Estreito de Câmara de Lobos - Câmara de Lobos. The lower terraced fields belong to Câmara de Lobos, the upper ones to Estreito de Câmara de Lobos.

I do not think that these are rice fields, because they are not fully levelled.
