You climb into a low-slung buggy as the ridge of Corno do Bico opens up ahead—rocky folds of granite slope away toward patchwork fields and small oak copses. The engine stutters, then decides to sing; dust rises and the track leads you past free-roaming horses and long-horned cows that regard you with curious calm. The landscape doesn’t hide its geological bones: exposed schist and granite, fluted gullies carved by winter runoff and centuries of shepherds’ hooves.
