The engine rumbles and the Portuguese morning unfolds as a restored UMM 4x4 bumps away from Lisbon toward Sintra’s mossy hills. Pine needles slap the chassis, salt air thickens as the road drops toward the western cliffs, and the driver points to a hidden lookout where the Atlantic throws spray like confetti.
