The rumble of a single-engine buggy breaks the coastal stillness as you peel off a paved road and into a corridor of sunbaked dirt, palms bending like traffic signs in the trade wind. Dust lifts behind your tires, the sea flashes cobalt to your right, and ahead a small village waits with a scatter of houses and fenced fields.
