A morning on this Algarve circuit begins with dust and wind—jeeps climb narrow rural tracks above whitewashed villages while the Atlantic glints beyond low pines. The driver-guide points out terraces of carob and almond trees; the air tastes faintly of salt and medronho spirit as the convoy pauses at a hilltop for a tasting of local preserves and artisanal firewater.
