You step from a sleek Mercedes onto basalt that looks engineered rather than made — hexagons marching toward the Atlantic as waves dare the shore to keep their grip. The salt air pushes inland, gulls wheel above and the road that brought you here threads dramatic cliffs and fishing ports where industry still smells of rope and sea.
