The minibus eases away from the resort and the island’s black fields push up against the windows — wind-sculpted rock and hardened lava that still seems to breathe. You’ll stop first at Los Hervideros where waves batter jagged lava cliffs and spray writes a temporary signature on the stone. The road then descends toward the oil-green mirror of El Golfo; the lagoon’s calm surface contrasts with the nearby cliffs’ raw edges.
