A salt wind hits the car as you leave Santiago’s granite plazas behind and head west toward the Atlantic. Coastal roads roll past eucalyptus and jagged cliffs; each bay opens like a new page in a weathered atlas. The day’s private pace lets you step off the highway in Muros’ fishing quarter, listen to gulls argue over the catch, and follow narrow streets to a harbor that still smells of seaweed and tar.
