A morning light slices across the Atlantic as you shoulder a two-seat kayak on the black-sand ramp below the cliffs of Mogán. The water smells faintly of salt and sulphur; the guide counts heads and the current nudges the hull toward a line of dark cave mouths carved by ancient lava and stubborn waves. Paddles dip, and the boat slips into a corridor of stone where echoes push back in a low, mineral voice.
