A late-morning sun warms the narrow cobbled lanes of Ojén as you step off the main road and into a town that prefers conversation to car horns. The private walking tour threads through alleys hung with potted geraniums, pauses at a low-slung oil mill where you can smell pressed olives, and follows limestone outcrops that lean over the path like old neighbors watching the passage of time.
