You step out of the minivan and the canyon grabs your attention—sheer sandstone walls folding down to the turquoise hint of the reservoir, two narrow hanging bridges daring you to cross. The air smells faintly of olive leaf and dust; below, the Turia riverbed cuts a bright, raw line through cliffs used by climbers for decades.
