You turn off the main road and the island opens slowly: limestone hills spill into sea-bright bays, and the scent of salt and sugarcane rides the breeze. The van climbs Great Mountain Road and pulls up at Fahie Hill, where a 460-foot mural unspools island life in bright panels—farm terraces, cane-cutting crews and lantern-lit stories that give everyday history a face.
