The van bumps onto a salt-scoured lane and the island opens like a map made of stone and sea. Windows down, the air pushes anecdotes from your guide — a squall of history that smells of sun-warmed coral and grilled fish. Over six hours you move from desert boulder fields to sheltered lagoons, stopping where the shoreline dares the Atlantic to do its worst and where the water, calmer, invites you in.
