You step off the coast-road and the air changes — drier, threaded with pine resin and the faint sweet of almond blossom in season. Palms and stone houses slip behind as the track climbs; terraces and dry-stone walls rise like human-made contours on the mountain flanks. The sea stays in view, a blue edge that seems to dare you forward.
