The engine coughs, gravel spits behind the rear wheels and a ribbon of sun-baked track unfurls toward the Sierra de Mijas. In a two-seater buggy you climb away from the coast—olive and almond trees slide past like scenery in a film—until the town below becomes a white smudge on the horizon and the air tastes of dust and citrus.
