Dust kicks up as you accelerate out of the staging area and the coast falls away behind you — the Sierra de Mijas opens like a dry, sun-baked page of geology and history. Tracks cut by seasonal streams and centuries of grazing wind between scrub oak and terraced olive groves, leading to an exposed ridge that throws the Mediterranean into sharp relief.
