The path climbs the flank of the Circeo without hurrying. The scrub is thick, the wind comes in gusts, and the sea appears only when the path opens onto a stretch of rock. You walk among mastic and strawberry trees, and your stride shortens by itself because the ground rises and the shade is short. This is not a summit to conquer. It is the stretch where the dune, left behind, turns small, and the promontory stops being a backdrop.
