You step out of a shaded vehicle and the Atlantic and Caribbean trade winds argue softly across your skin — one warm and salt-sweet, the other cool and mineral. The driver closes the door; for the next three to four hours the island unfolds like a lived-in map: colonial stone, volcanic headlands, sugarcane terraces and a coastline that alternates between black lava rock and pale sand.
