The plane climbs and the Atlantic widens beneath you: a ribbon of ochre cliffs, blue-green water, and the geometric roofs of Algarve towns shrinking toward the horizon. At 10,000 feet, the air smells cleaner, and the world pauses for the practiced click when your instructor checks the harness; then you step into a thirty-second freefall that drives wind and adrenaline into a single, focused pulse.
