More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You start before the heat builds, the Atlantic wind still cooling the car as the coastline drops away and a pocket of sand—the Mini Sahara—rises like a pale spine against the blue. The guide eases off the paved road and the vehicle finds its rhythm: a steady thump, then sudden lift as dunes roll beneath the tires. Salt-scented air mixes with the warm, dry tang of sunbaked earth.
