At the crest of a wind-scoured cliff outside Albufeira, the Jeep idles and the Atlantic spreads like a cool hand below. The guide points to a narrow ledge where waves have carved hollows into the rock, and gulls wheel as if to challenge the wind’s speed. Guests step close to the rail and the coastline opens—raw, bright and easy to read.
