You climb into a rugged 4x4 as the Atlantic wind picks up, roof off and salt-scented air pushing through. The jeep settles onto a dirt track and the island opens: rolling green fields, basalt ridgelines cut by ancient lava flows, and the squat silhouette of Monte Brasil rising like a quiet guardian above Angra do Heroísmo.
