Late afternoon light slants across cork oaks and terraced citrus as the jeep rumbles away from Albufeira, tires crunching on rutted farm tracks. Guides point out low stone walls, irrigation channels and the roofs of whitewashed villages as the coastline shrinks behind you; the mission is simple — reach a mountain rim in time to watch the sun drop into the western sky.
