You step off the lane into a light-filtered alley of silver-green leaves; the olive trunks curve like time-marked hands and the air smells faintly of citrus and earth. The grove opens to a low panoramic ridge where the wind from the Gulf of Alghero teases the branches, and the guide points out trees that have fed families for generations.
