The Spanish banana industry must be fairly recent, as in the 1960s, the largest producer of banana in Europe was said to be Iceland, largely from a few experimental greenhouses.
It is not. Bananas have been introduced to southern Spain by the Arab Conquest. The industry on the Canary Islands is obviously newer, but was run as large scale plantations since the beginning of the last century. However the Canary Islands are probably African rather then Europe.
There is also banana production on the Azores (Portugal), including on the islands that are on the European tectonic plate.
Holy crap bananas grow so much further north than I expected, even without the gulf stream. Or wait never mind, the gulf stream apparently hugs North America until Virginia before heading to Europe. Wild stuff
