The engine growls, dust lifts, and the Algarve’s interior opens like a map you can drive across. You set off from near Faro and within minutes the coast’s calm gives way to dry, scrubby hills and rutted farm tracks. Boulders and olive groves pass in a blur as the buggy bites into gravel and the guide points toward a shaded village stop—Querença—where whitewashed houses and a slow rhythm of daily life offer a stark contrast to the adrenaline minutes before.
