You ascend the cobbled streets of Casares and the village seems to rearrange the air — whitewashed façades reflecting a hard Mediterranean light, wind pulling at flower pots, and voices drifting from a shaded plaza. The guide pauses at a narrow lane and points toward the ruins above; from there the Mediterranean spreads like a promise, Gibraltar and the African coast jagged on the horizon when visibility holds.
