You arrive over a ridgeline and the valley opens like a folded map: a small white village clinging to a rocky spur above a jade-colored reservoir, serrated cliffs framing distant citrus terraces. The road drops into narrow lanes paved with worn stone; air here smells faintly of rosemary and sun-warmed rock.
