The jeep rolls off the paved road and into ochre tracks, the engine punctuating a sky already turning from late blue to burnished gold. Dust rises like a short-lived memory as guides point out a cluster of cork oaks, and the countryside opens into serrated hills where light slides down limestone folds.
