The morning sun slants across volcanic ridgelines as the convoy of buggies hums out of Costa Adeje, tires whispering on asphalt before the road pinches into hairpin turns. Wind pushes at your jacket; the island breathes—salt from the sea on one shoulder and dust from the interior on the other. By the first viewpoint the valley drops away in a scarred gorge, a stitched geography of eroded basalt and sudden green pockets where water still finds its way.
