You start with the sea on one side and a ribbon of road carving the island on the other — warm air carries spices and salt as the vehicle eases out of Gros Islet toward the west coast. The driver guides through market stalls where vendors lay out mangoes and batik shirts, then toward the patchwork of fishing villages whose painted houses lean toward the sea.
