Morning light breaks over volcanic ridges as a small van threads coastal roads, palms and basalt cliffs unfolding like chapters of an island story. Travelers step onto a black-sand cove where cave houses press close to the sea and gulls test the air; later the group moves inland, climbing to viewpoints where cloud banks push through ravines and briefly hide villages below.
